SPICY CARROT MUFFINS



Spicy Carrot Muffins image

This recipe is from 'Robin Hood Home Baking', a book that I got for Christmas several years ago. The first time I tasted these muffins I knew that I would no longer have to search for another carrot muffin recipe-these are the best! I followed the directions exactly, but omitted the walnuts. Sometimes I use half whole wheat flour too. I always double the recipe and try to sneak a few away for the freezer;)

From the New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook, with a few adaptations. Soft, moist, flavorful and healthy. These muffins are NOT very sweet so choose a sweet apple variety or increase the honey to 1/2 cup if you prefer a sweeter muffin.
