From Three Rivers Cookbook - Pittsburgh PA

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups grated carrots
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 apple, peeled, cored and grated
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• Vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in carrots, raisins, pecans, coconut and apple. In another bowl, beat eggs with vegetable oil and vanilla and stir the mixture into the flour mixture until the batter is just combined. Spoon batter into well-greased muffin pan cups, filling them to the top, and bake muffins in oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until springy to the touch. Let muffins cool in the tins on a rack for 5 minutes, turn out and let cool completely.

If you use mini muffin pans, then bake for only 15 minuts.
