From pumpkin to blueberry to caramelized pear, muffins come in all flavors and colors. I first spied this muffin at a local bakery in Berkeley, California, during the health food movement. I couldn’t decide if the muffin looked tasty, since it was full of healthy ingredients—carrots, coconut, raisins, and nuts. It was delicious!
Through the years, I have had many variations of this taste memory. And the truth is, along with all the veggies and fruit, there is a lot of sugar in this recipe. I haven’t tried it with less, but I bet you could lower the sugar a bit and the muffins would be totally satisfying since there is sugar in the fruit and carrots.
