Morning Sunshine Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the carrot, raisins, nuts, coconut, and apple.
• In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir egg mixture into the carrot/flour mixture, just until moistened. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Steps:

• In a 13 X 9 lightly greased baking dish, place your bread cubes evenly on the bottom.
• In a medium bowl, whip the eggs together with the milk until well beaten.
• Stir in the sausage and cheese and pour over the bread crumbs.
• Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• I lightly sprinkle more shredded cheese on top when this comes out of the oven.

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger and salt.
• In another medium bowl whisk together eggs, brown sugar, mashed bananas, yogurt and oil until thoroughly combined; add to the flour mixture; mix to combine.
• Add in the carrots, chopped dried apricots and pecans; using a spatula mix until just combined (take care not to overmix!).
• Spread the batter into prepared baking dish.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until baked.
• Cool completely in pan on a wire rack, then cut into bars.
