Pineapple Carrot Muffins

I found a recipe for these muffins in this cookbook. The boys did everything themselves. They were really proud of them. I thought that I would share the recipe with everyone if you wanted to try them too.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour

Sift together the flours, baking powder. baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and mix well. In a seperate bowl, beat together the oil, sugar, and eggs. Add the carrot, pineapple, raisins, and pecans (if using). Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until the ingredients are just combined.

Pour the mixture into the paper cups and bake for 25 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
