Parrot Delight: Apple-Cheese Muffins

Apple-Cheese Muffins

2 cups whole wheat flour,
1 1/2 tsp baking powder,
1/2 tsp baking soda,
1 tsp salt,
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese,
1/2 cup butter, softened,
1/3 cup sugar,
2 eggs with shells,
1/2 cup chopped apple,
1/2 cup shredded carrot.


Mix the first five ingredients together. Wash the eggs, then blenderize the eggs with the shell included. Add butter, sugar, apple, and carrot to the eggs and blenderize briefly to mix. Stir together with the dry ingredients until just combined. Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
