Carrot Muffins

The first thing that you need to know about these muffins is that I accidentally ate 5 of them instead of a real dinner.

The second thing that you need to know about these muffins is that they're much more delicious than regular carrot muffins - I'm going to attribute this to the crushed pineapple in them. These muffins contain a lot more than just carrots. In fact, they feel like an evolutionary link between plain carrot muffins and the goodie crammed "Morning Glory" muffin.

Let's get on to the recipe before I end up eating a 6th muffin.
