Preheat oven to 350ºF.  Lightly grease muffin tins, or alternatively line with paper baking cups.  Set aside.

Mix together the flour, flaxseed meal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Stir in carrots, apples, raisins and nuts.

Combine the milk, beaten eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, then add to the dry ingredients.  Stir until ingredients are moistened.  Do not over mix.

Fill muffin tins 3/4 full and bake for 15-20 minutes (10-12  minutes for mini muffins).
Yields 15 full sized muffins.
