PUMPKIN CARROT MUFFINS WITH VANILLA FROSTING
Easy to make and delicious. If you don't have a cake decorating bag you can use a sturdy plastic bag, cut a tiny bit off one corner, insert a decorate tip, and use that instead. I used pumpkin pie spice mix found in recipe #401184 description; 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and measured out 1 teaspoon for this recipe, and put the rest in a clean spice jar for use later. For the icing, I couldn't find vanilla bean paste so I just used vanilla extract. I sprinkled the top of the icing on the muffins with sifted cinnamon. From www.foodnetwork.ca, recipe by Anna Olson. Times given are estimates. Next time I make these I think I will add raisins and nuts too.
