Pumpkin Carrot Muffins

I just made THE BEST MUFFINS EVER.  They turned out so nicely - moist, flavourful, fluffy :)  I got the recipe here.  The original recipe only makes 6 muffins, so I doubled it, but kept all of the ingredients the same.  Oh, and I increased the cooking time (mine were definitely not done after 14 minutes).  Next time I might consider using applesauce instead of oil, and possibly throwing in some flax seed (or using a "flax egg" instead of eggs).  But then again, maybe I should just not mess with a good thing!
Pumpkin Carrot Muffins

Here's the recipe:
