Peanut Butter and Carrot Muffins

An unusual combination comes together in this peanut butter and carrot muffin.

My sister was telling me that one of her favorite snacks is carrots and peanut butter.  I was quite surprised to hear that, to tell the truth I would have never considered eating these two things together. Have you ever eaten this combination?

That got me thinking, about baking with this combination. If it makes a great snack then why not a great muffin… right?

That is exactly what I did, I tried the combination in a muffin and the result was quite yummy. My daughter and her boyfriend were here for the weekend when I made these muffins and it turns out that our daughter’s boyfriend is another fan of peanut butter and carrots. So he was quite happy to take a few of these muffins home with him.

It turns out that peanut butter and carrots can be a great combination.
