"My grandma Lorraine Stromgren would listen to WCCO Radio's Joyce Lamont as she broadcasted a daily recipe. My grandma would sit by the radio with pencil in hand to write down those recipe favorites! A cookbook was published in 1979 after 10 years of recipes being broadcasted. Of over 2,000 recipes that had been broadcasted, the cookbook has the recipes that were the listeners' favorites."

I was very careful to follow everything on this recipe as I have been trying to find the best Carrot Muffin recipe for a long time. My husband is a huge fan of Carrot Muffins. While reading this recipe, I thought that there's not enough sugar but I tried it anyway. Both my husband and I thought the muffins were bland. Perhaps, it was mistyped?
