Morning Glory muffins

YUM! These are wonderful.

2 c. flour
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 t. soda
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
2 c. grated carrots
1/2 c. golden raisins
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. fresh grated coconut
1 apple, peeled, cored and grated
3 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil
2 t. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in carrots, raisins, nuts, coconut and apple. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add oil and vanilla. Mix well. Stir into large mixture just until combined. Spoon batter into greased muffin tins. Bake 20 minutes. Makes 14 large muffins.

NOTE: If you soak the raisins for a little while in rum or Kahlua or something like that, they get even happier. When the muffins are still warm, spread them with butter that's been whipped with orange zest and just a little bit of orange juice concentrate.
