GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE MUFFINS (HEARTY CARROT MUFFINS WITH COCONUT AND PINEAPPLE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or place cupcake wrappers in a standard-size, 12-cup muffin pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk just until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently stir in the carrots, 1/2 cup coconut, and pineapple.
• Use a cookie scoop to divide the mixture between the muffin cups. Cups should be filled to the top.
• Sprinkle tops evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons coconut.
• Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until muffin tops spring back when poked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve plain or with butter, if desired.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days, or freeze.
