Carrot Muffins

(an approximation of the way we made them)

1 cup flour (perhaps a bit more)
½ cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
1 apple, peeled and grated
1/3 cup raisins
½ cup pecan pieces
4 or so grated carrots
1 banana mashed
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg (optional - improves texture)

Preheat oven to 350° while you combine ingredients and mix just enough with a big spoon to evenly distribute ingredients, then spoon into muffin liners in muffin tins and bake until just done. Over baking will dry them out. Cool. Makes approximately 12 muffins.
