1 1/3 cup carrots, shredded
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in hot water
2 eggs
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray muffin tins. (My suggestion: spray
paper muffin cups - low fat muffins tend to stick.)
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in carrots and drained
raisins.
Beat eggs with oil. Stir into flour mixture. Divide batter evenly
among 12 tins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in
center of muffin comes out clean.
