📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375°. Grease 15-18 muffin cups. Set aside
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, wheat bran/flaxseed/oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

4
Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add carrots, apple, and raisins and stir until evenly distributed, being careful not to over mix.
5
Evenly divide the batter between muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out without raw batter on it. Cool in muffin pan for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then remove muffins from the pan to continue cooling.
6
Frosting:
7
With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of milk. Beat for about ⏱️ 1 minute, until smooth. Add more milk of necessary. Drizzle frosting over the top of cooled muffins (I placed the frosting in a plastic bag, snipped the corner, and squeezed it onto the muffins).
