Cinnamon Carrot Muffins

Yummy, yummy way to use up carrots and to get vegetables in at the very start of the day.  I found this recipe in my Whole Living magazine back in April.  After our first batch these became an instant favorite around here!

3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. wheat germ
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 c. vegetable oil or applesauce
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 large eggs
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 c. finely grated carrots (4-5 carrots)

Preheat oven to 350*.  Line a muffin tin with cups or spray with non stick cooking spray.  Whisk flours, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.  Whisk remaining ingredients in a separate bowl.  Fold dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.  Spoon batter into cups.  Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 22 minutes.  Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
