CARROT CAKE MUFFINS
These spicy whole-grain muffins are just sweet enough, unlike most cloying carrot cakes. And these are packed with carrots.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack in the upper third of the space. Oil or butter muffin tins.
- Sift together the whole-wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Using a whisk or a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not beat; a few lumps are fine, but make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the raisins or pecans and the carrots.
- Spoon into muffin cups, filling them to just below the top (about 4/5 full). Place in the oven, and bake 25 minutes until lightly browned and well risen.

r-caisaun58@gmail.comI didn't have any cream cheese on hand, so I made the muffins without the frosting. They were still really good, but I think they would have been even better with the frosting.
