• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 20 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
2. Mix water and flax seeds together in a bowl.
3. Stir all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add carrots and chopped apples; toss to coat.
