36 muffins
ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 10 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 1⁄3 cups vanilla yogurt
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1⁄2 cups carrots, grated
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup flax seed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon allspice
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 36 muffin cups with baking liners.
- Grate the carrots (I use a box grater and use the second largest sized hole). Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the carrots, flours, flax, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and allspice. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Combine the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat using a stand mixer or a hand mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Stir in the yogurt, pumpkin, orange juice, and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar/butter/egg mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed, but do not over beat.
- Add a scant 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin cup, making about 36 muffins in all. Bake at muffins at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until cooked through when tested with a toothpick. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack completely.
