1 sunkistcitrus Navel Orange
2 large eggs
1/2 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
10 ounces matchstick carrots chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins

🍊Preheat the oven to 350°F.
🥕 Zest the orange, then cut it in half and juice it to yield 1/4 cup of juice.
🍊 In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine the eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and orange juice. Mix for about 2 minutes, or until smooth.
🥕 In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest.
🍊Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the carrots and raisins.
🥕Spoon the batter into a greased mini muffin tin. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
🍊 Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely.

This recipe featuring sunkistcitrus is part of our 2025 Associated Whole Grocers Produce for Kids campaign, supporting local FeedingAmerica food banks. This year, campaign partners are making an incredible impact with a 170,000 meal donation!
