Preparation

Step 1

Sift dry ingredients through cinnamon together, set aside. Mix sugar, molasses, vanilla and oil together until well blended. Add in beaten eggs and mix well. Fold in carrots, apples, coconut, raisins, and pecans. Make a well with dry ingredients and fold together wet ingredients. Mix until just moistened.

Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. The recipe says 24 muffins--I got 18. I guess it depends on your muffin tins. :)
