I love carrot cake, so I was really looking forward to trying these muffins, but unfortunately the result wasn't what I'd been hoping for... As others noted below, there is definitely something funny about the timing. The reason, as far as I can tell, is that there is just too much liquid for the amount of flour. I made everything exactly as in the recipe, and it yielded so much batter that I ended up making a loaf in addition to the 12 muffins. The two tins together took well over 2 hours to bake -- the muffins alone would have taken about an hour, I guess. Also there was too much raising power for the amount of flour, and so the whole thing bubbled like crazy but there was nothing to hold the rise because of all the liquid. The resulting texture was a bit crumbly and gummy for my taste, although the taste was fine. If I was making this again, I'd halve the amount of apple and carrot, and up the flour a bit. It might also be worth trying this with almond meal instead of the flaked almonds, as that would improve the texture and also help the liquid problem to some extent.
