I had the morning off, so I decided to whip up a batch of carrot spice muffins.
My modifications:
- Spelt flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 c. applesauce instead of 1/3 c.
- 1/3 c. almond milk instead of 1/2 c. soy yogurt
- Double strength vanilla
- An unmeasured, ridiculously large amount of vietnamese cinnamon
- I had no raisins (because I ate them all last night)
They are moist and spicy and awesome.
Any big weekend plans? Ours include Harry Potter, plenty of time at the beach, finishing The God of Small Things, and a farmers market. I need to track down some chili lime mango and watermelon.

Greetings Hannah,
Thanks for this recipe…on my bday!
I love reading your postings, it sounds like you are having fun exploring your new environs and that CA is a good place for you, Greg and your kittie. Tell me about your new job when you have a chance. We miss you at the spice store. Take care! Claire

Hi Claire,
Happy Birthday! Thanks for reading the blog. We’re having an awesome time in California. My new job is as a barista at a nearby bakery. It’s not my dream job, but the pay is OK and the hours are great! They’re only open Monday through Friday, and they close at 6 every day. Of course I’ll continue searching, but I’m enjoying having nights and weekends off to read, work on the blog, begin to prepare some grad school applications, and, most importantly, hang out at the beach.
Hope all is well with you! How is your job hunt going?
