Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it well.
In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cranberries, coconut, flax seeds, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the carrots and apple, stirring to combine. Then, incorporate the pineapple, eggs, oil, applesauce, pecans, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, approximately 35 minutes.
