Ann's Muffins

This recipe is from my Wife's Grandmother, who lived to 94 and always said it was because she ate these muffins every day!

Ingredients

2 ½ cups	Standard flour
1 ¼ cups	Sugar
3 tsp	Ground cinnamon
2 tsp	Baking soda
½ tsp	Salt
3 whole	Eggs
¾ cup	Apple sauce
½ cup	Oil, any oil is ok except for olive oil
1 tsp	Vanilla essence/extract
2 cups	Carrots, grated
1 can	Canned crushed pineapple (Main)
½ cup	Coconut
¾ cup	Sultanas (Main)
½ cup	Walnuts, chopped

Directions

1. Heat oven to 180C.
2. Combine and mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla.
4. Stir into the dry ingredients.
5. Stir in grated carrots, pineapple, coconut and sultanas and nuts.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180C.
7. After removing from the oven, let cool and store in an airtight container in a cool place. Due to the high moisture content of these muffins they need to be eaten in a few days.

As a variation, this can be made into a loaf that can be sliced and served, but the baking time will be longer.
