Honey Bee Good Muffins....

I like to use local honey in as many recipes as I can.  This  muffin recipe uses half a  cup.   Mmmm yummy.  I did make a few changes though.  First I added 2 teaspoons of grated orange zest to the batter and then additional walnuts and  raw sugar to the top of the muffins before I baked them.  

Here is the recipe.  Bee careful you don't eat to many.

Honey Muffins

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 chopped walnuts
• 1 cup raisins ( I used golden raisins )
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. grated orange peel
• 1 cup shredded carrots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line muffin tin with paper liners.  In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder,cinnamon, salt, nuts and raisins.  In small bowl, mix eggs, orange juice, oil, honey, vanilla, and orange peel.  Stir the liquid ingredients into dry ingredients,  Stir in carrots.  Spoon batter into muffin-pan cups..  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.  Makes between 15 and 18 muffins.
