MOIST AND LOW FAT CARROT-RAISIN-APPLE-MUFFINS



Moist and Low Fat Carrot-Raisin-Apple-Muffins image

I got this recipe from beginnertriathlete.com this summer and have been making it constantly ever since. I have adapted it slightly by omitting the nuts and using skim milk instead of buttermilk. I make it with applesauce but you can substitute it for canola oil quite nicely.
