Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and flaxseed. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and sugar. Stir flour mixture into oil mixture until blended. Fold in carrots, apples and raisins. (Batter will be very thick.)
Step 3
Fill muffin cups with batter (about 1/2 cup each; an ice cream scoop is helpful). Bake muffins until tops are golden, crackled and domed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in tin on a wire rack.

These muffins are great. They are very moist and flavorful. I add 1/3 cup chocolate chips to the recipe. I also use some wheat bran in place of wheat flour. They do mold quickly, so if you aren't going to eat them all within a few days, freeze half of them to eat later. They freeze well. If you use a convection oven, cook for less time to avoid dryness.
