Apple Carrot Flax Muffins

I made these muffins to have with my breakfast in place of my usual biscuit. Therefore, I made 22 fairly small muffins, but you could make them bigger if you wish. They are very nutritious and excellent spread with peanut butter. 

Apple Carrot Flax Muffins
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 cup oat bran
1/2 cup natural wheat bran
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large apples, shredded
3 medium carrots, shredded
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, stir together the first eleven dry ingredients. Stir in the apple and carrot.
Mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla together and add to dry mixture. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
