Pineapple and Carrot Muffins

Makes 12 large muffins


1 cup sugar (plus extra for crust, if desired)
2 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup grated carrots
3/4 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon

In large bowl, cream together the sugar, eggs and oil. Add carrots, pineapple and vanilla.

In separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients, add to wet ingredients and stir gently only until all dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not beat.

Spoon into greased muffin tins, sprinkle tops with granulated sugar (if desired), and bake in 400F oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Muffins are done when they spring back when lightly touched with a finger.

You know, Meriweather, I think I'll have to try these this weekend. I completely forgot that I bought some mini cinnamon chips before Christmas to make cookies (got them in the "bulk food" aisle at the store) but I got sick & never made cookies. Thanks for reminding me! (Actually, DH thanks you even more! )
