3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

(1 cup chopped nuts)

3 eggs

1.5 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups chopped, grated or mashed fruit or vegetable pulp

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon (and nuts). In a second bowl, beat the eggs and blend in sugar and oil. Add vanilla and the 2 cups fruit or vegetable pulp.

Combine both mixtures and stir until batter is evenly moist. Divide into muffin cups.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for thirty minutes. Test by inserting toothpick in the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean the muffins are done. Remove from oven and let stand ten minutes before removing from muffin cups. Allow to cool before storing in a sealed container. 

Muffins freeze well.

Some suggestions for variety:

Zucchini: Shred the zucchini coarsely and pack tightly into a 2-cup measure.
