Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with liners. Spray the liners with cooking spray and set aside. This recipe makes 14-15 muffins, so you may prep a second pan or bake the remaining muffins after the first ones finish and cool enough to be removed from the pan.

- Add the apple, carrots, coconut, raisins, walnuts, and sunflower seeds and stir to combine.
- In another bowl combine the eggs, vegetable oil, and pineapple juice.
