Cinnamon Orange Carrot Muffins

I stole this from the blog simplepeasantfood.blogspot.com, a really fun blog! I haven't tried these, but they sound really good!

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (use hard white wheat. trust me.)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt 
1 heaping Tbs corn starch (omit if using white flour)

sift together and add: 

1 1/2 cups  pureed carrot (2-3 large carrots)
2 Tbs orange juice concentrate (undiluted)
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs

A good tip: put all the wet ingredients into the blender or food processor, see how much it measures, then add chunks of carrot and puree until you have 1 1/2 cups more.  Most blenders have measurements on the side, so it's easy to figure out how much carrot to add.

Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups (I like to use the cupcake liners) and bake at 350 for about 17 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

I like to mix a little orange juice with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt to make a quick glaze for these muffins, but plain old butter works too. Or jam. Or both. Mmmmm.
