Apple Raisin Walnut Muffins

I make these muffins and store for lunches.  Yummy and full of goodness.

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp each ground cloves and salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups diced cored peeled apples  
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 handfuls of chopped walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, applesauce, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla; pour over flour mixture. Sprinkle with apples, raisins, and walnuts; stir just until combined.  Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups.

Bake in center of oven until tops are firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pans on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; let cool completely on rack.
