In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt or applesauce with ground flaxseed (this is your egg replacement), then add in coconut oil and brown sugar; mix well. Combine oil and sugar mixture and flour mixture; mix just until moistened. Fold in carrots, apples, coconut flakes and drained raisins. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes before frosting. Optional: Frost with vanilla yogurt and sprinkle coconut flakes on top.
