Pumpkin Carrot Cake Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    10 tablespoons butter, softened
    1 1/3 cups vanilla yogurt
    2 cups pumpkin puree
    2 large eggs
    4 tablespoons orange juice
    3 teaspoons vanilla
    2 1/2 cups carrots, grated
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup flax seed
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon allspice
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 36 muffin cups with baking liners.
    Grate the carrots (I use a box grater and use the second largest sized hole). Set aside.
    In a medium sized bowl, combine the carrots, flours, flax, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and allspice. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
    Combine the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat using a stand mixer or a hand mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Stir in the yogurt, pumpkin, orange juice, and vanilla.
    Add the flour mixture to the sugar/butter/egg mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed, but do not over beat.
    Add a scant 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin cup, making about 36 muffins in all. Bake at muffins at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until cooked through when tested with a toothpick. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack completely.
