Introduction
All of the flavours of carrot cake in a perfect little muffin! Sweet, ultra-moist with all of the fall flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, apple and brown sugar. These muffins are great for breakfast, snacks on the run or even crumbled over ice cream!
Don’t ask me why, but it’s taken me a long time to come around to the idea of vegetables in cakes and muffins. Zucchini, carrots – no thanks! But I must say, these muffins changed my mind! With the help of seasonal spices, these muffins are absolutely delicious!
