Vegan Carrot Muffins

I got this recipe from my friend Tara, it was always our favorite "safe" dessert recipe for special occasions. Tara made 24 of these yummy muffins and transported all of them to our house for Cai's 2nd birthday party. We made a quick icing out of water and icing sugar and served them for dessert. Cai was extatic!

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice

Blend oil and sugar, add water and beat. Sift flour with remaining ingredients and add to sugar mixture. Add carrots and raisins and mix well.
