Carrot Muffins with Pineapple and Cinnamon

<< Carrot Muffins take only minutes to prepare. This particular recipe is the best one that I have found - I have tried many others that do not measure up. You can follow the directions as given below - Note: You make the entire muffin recipe by hand without using a hand mixer.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup carrots, grated (2-3 medium)
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. cinnamon (I use 1 1/2 tsp. because I love cinnamon)
• 2/3 cup oil
• 1 tsp. vanilla (use 1 1/2 if you love the taste of vanilla)
• 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• Optional add ins: 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
or pecans, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, pinch of powdered or finely grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F - grease or line muffin tins.

Beat eggs and sugar until smooth - use a hand mixer or simply use a spatula or spoon and mix by hand. Add remaining ingredients one at a time and mix only until moistened.

Fill prepared muffin cups and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Makes 12 regular muffins
