This is a story about a mother-in-law wanting to make her son-in-law’s favorite dessert…so her daughter purchased all of the ingredients…and the dessert never was made. So this daughter had 40oz of shredded carrots in her fridge that she had to do something with. Thus the Carrot Apple Pecan Muffins were born. My husband, Matthew, is a HUGE lover of carrot cake. And while I don’t mind the flavors, I just cannot get past the whole vegetable in a dessert thing. That thought process is tucked away in my brain, filed right next to knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but having the wisdom to know it does not…
