Carrot Apple Nut Muffins image

This recipe came from Mother Earth News Magazine. It has a great texture, not too sweet and nice and moist. Everyone in my family loved it. I made them for breakfast tomorrow morning but I don't think they will last that long! I reproduced the recipe as it was printed, but next time I think I will use a little more ginger and cinnamon.
