Whole Grain Carrot Muffins


Don't let the name fool you...these taste a lot better than they sound! They actually have a nice sweetness to them, and taste a bit like a bran muffin. Delicious if served warm with a little butter! They definitely don't taste like carrots at all, so don't let that stop you.



Ingredients:

-1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

-1 Cup white flour

-3/4 cup Brown Sugar

-2 tsp baking powder

-1 tsp baking soda

-1/2 tsp salt

-1 tsp cinnamon

-3 eggs

-1/2 cup canola oil

-1 tsp vanilla

-1 cup carrot puree


Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix all ingredients.

3. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. I found 20 minutes to be a bit long, my muffins were a tad dry on the bottom. 16 -18 minutes would probably be plenty.

4. Optional frosting: Frost with 4 oz light cream cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla blended.
