ANYTIME YOGURT CARROT MUFFINS



Anytime Yogurt Carrot Muffins image

I don't bake. So these muffins had to be easy to understand, with no wonky ingredients. First you mix the dry ingredients. Then you mix the wet. Add the wet to the dry, yadda yadda yadda. About thirty minutes later, and look at those little crests and peaks! The raisins add little pockets of sweet here and there, the carrots add a delicious, delicate moisture and the yogurt adds this gorgeous subtle tang.
