Kimmyh - when I make carrot cake 2 cups of carrot is approx 300g or 3-4 carrots. I also chop chunks of carrot on speed 5 for 5 secs. Chop carrot first and pour into a glass measuring jug until you get two cups.

Monicat -  they turned out great - lovely light and fluffy.  TMX is very full with all the ingredients in and it makes around 30 average size muffins. (Or 24 biggish ones)

Posting here so I don't have to keep getting my cup out when I make them *Lazy!!*

4 carrots
360g Brown sugar
290g Vegetable Oil
4 eggs
480g plain flour
10g Baking powder
10g Baking soda
45g milk
1 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Cinnamon
pinch salt

ETA I did a slightly healthier version today with half wholemeal flour (needed to double the amount of milk) and only 250g sugar and they still rose beautifully and taste great.  I made some cashew  nut cream to go with them.

astarra - This is a huge mixture!! I made 36 in my normal sized muffin tins. They smell divine.

Huge muffins Hally - taste good?

[astarra]

They look great H - but grated carrot do we have to grate the carrot first? or chuck it in the bowl in chunks and let TM work it's magic? Sorry for the dumb Q but we love carrot muffins here and yours look scrumptious!! 

[judydawn]

I would chop it in the TMX astarra like I do Brazen's carrot cake - speed 6 for 5-10 seconds for 2 cups of carrot chunks. Not sure how many carrots make 2 cups of grated carrot - Hally will tell us.

These muffins rise very well. A little bland on their own but with the chocolate drizzled over or any other topping, lovely
