1.       Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Prepare muffin mix according to package directions; fold in carrot, dried apple, and cranberries. Divide evenly among the prepared muffin cups; sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

Tip

•  We loved the way these muffins tasted when we made them with Krusteaz oat-bran muffin mix. Other oat-bran muffin mixes may also call for an egg so be sure to have one on hand.
