Pumpkin and Carrot Muffin

Pumpkin! Wowwweeeee...that is my favourite vegetable. No matter how you prepare it, i'll love it. Masak lemak labu, lepat labu, bingka labu memang menjadi kegemaran. Dapat pulak yang manis dan halus isinya...perghh!!!
To vary this favourite pumpkin

recipe, i'll try to google if  there's more recipe on pumpkin. Well, i found one and decided to give it a try. Hmmm...not bad after all! Yummehh...!!! I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream to make the muffin lighter and fluffy. Try google Anna Olson, my favourite pastry chef.
So, this afternoon hubby will have his cuppa with Pumpkin and carrot muffin...enjoyyyy!!!Mummy also like it, my lil goonies...well, maybe if i put frosting on top of it they'll love it coz they keep on asking is it a cupcake, and why there's no frosting on it. Fuhh...letih nak menjawab! Baiklah, next time i put vanilla frosting so that this kids will enjoy my muffin. Chiao for now.....!!!
