    1      Cup           Raisins
    1      Large         Egg -- lightly beaten
    2      Large         Egg Whites -- lightly beaten
      1/4  Cup           Vegetable Oil -- pref. canola oil

    2      Tablespoons   Walnuts Or Pecans -- finely chopped
    2      Tablespoons   Wheat Germ -- toasted
 
 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Lightly oil 18 muffin cups or coat with
 nonstick cooking spray.  In a large bowl, stir together flours, sugar,
 cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Stir in carrots, apples and
 raisins.  In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, apple
 butter, oil and vanilla.  Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until
 moistened.  Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about
 3/4 full.  In a small bowl, combine walnuts and wheat germ; sprinkle over the
 muffin tops.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and
 spring back when lightly pressed.
