These muffins are absolutely the most amazing carrot cake/bread/muffins I have ever had! I made the half batch today, but there's not much point in making so few of these! Unless you wish to place a limit on how many of these things are consumed =). They are very healthy for you though! See?! They even have whole wheat flour and honey! (We just won't mention how much oil and brown sugar they have!) Honestly, these are so amazing you would never think that it has anything so healthy as W.W. flour in it anyway! Oh, when I made the half batch today I only put in 1 cup of oil (1/4 c. less), and they still came out great, just a little less greasy. Possibly you could go down to 3/4 c. for the half batch. The weird part is that with all that oil, these things still want to stick to the muffin tins! (As much as I wanted to, I promise that they were sticking in the tins and that I did not really take a bite out of every other muffin!)

I give up! This thing is determined to make my recipe look stupid and like I don't know what I'm doing! I just tried to correct that 4 times! Ah well, I guess it will be more attention grabbing?? =P
Wow, that is one giant batch of muffins!!!!! I'm not sure what you were struggling with... Instead of sitting here amazed at how dumb you are, I am thinking deep thoughts about how busy walmart will be today and if I dare zoom over for some carrots or if I should wait till tomorrow! You would post this the day after I go grocery shopping :D. Now if you had posted a recipe for broccoli or avocado muffins... Haha
Is this better, Anna?
They are good! Wowsers, 4 dozen muffins is a bushel and a half!

I think it actually only made 40 muffins, but that's close to 4 dozen, right?? ;) With 7 people in the house we consumed these in about a week's time. We put some in the freezer for a few days, but they froze well.
My recipe doesn't look stupid anymore... =P. When I posted it, the text had a different color behind it, and it looked weird. Now *I* look weird! =P
Haha, It's not you, Anna! It was indeed weird. I reformatted it for you. It had some really weird quadruple spacing issues for a while there, but I nail that too. Wow. I'm a computer expert. HAHAHAHAHA!
Ooooh, 8 muffins short of 4 dozen, I don't know about that. : ) Well, I guess it's only a bushel and a quarter. Ah, I love stuff in the freezer.
