Delicious 1 pt Pumpkin/Carrot Muffins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love, love, love these muffins! I double the recipe. I got the recipe from www.debbiescorner.com. I use whole wheat flour and sometimes add 1 T flax meal for more fiber. I decrease the cinnamon by 1/2 and use Allspice and cloves. I like to use Splenda instead of the Sweet & Low (too sweet for me). Taste the batter for your own sweetness level. I also substitute currents for the raisins, but use what I have on hand. I really love to add the grated rind of one orange or lemon to give them a kick. When I double the recipe, I make it into 18 muffins or in a large rectangular pan and cut into 18 pieces. Enjoy!!
