My favorite carrot muffins


I love to bake muffins, and it's even better when I can use ingredients from my own backyard garden.  Last April (that sounds like so long ago!), I planted a few carrot seeds.  I finally got to harvest them this week.  How fun are these multi-colored carrots?!



I ended up with just enough carrots to make my favorite carrot muffins, a recipe from Taste of Home. It's a healthy recipe, with whole wheat flour and applesauce instead of butter or shortening.  I loved how these muffins turned out, with the different colors of shredded carrots in the mix.  Give these a try next time you see carrots on sale at the grocery store (or at the farmers market).
