Shredded coconut, apples, pecans, and raisins fill these muffins with flavor and nutrition. Toss one in your child's backpack to keep her energy up throughout the school day, or put one in your purse and do the same!

Warning: do NOT use these cooking oils!

This may actually suprise you.. Some of these oils are healthy and some are VERY unhealthy -- soybean oil, olive oil, coconut oil, corn oil, etc... Let's take a closer look. (click here)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter a muffin tin.
