My husband and I are working on eating a little healthier and I refuse to give any food up! Some diets are really strict and severe and limit your caloric intake as well as certain foods and sometimes even entire food groups! (cough cough…. atkins) I don’t like this at all. And, just so you all know I am NOT on any particular diet at all. I am simply trying to incorporate more better nutrient rich foods into our everyday lives, especially since my daughter will soon be eating our big people food. Sigh…..I swear I just gave birth to her. Where does the time go?
ANYWAYS, this is just one of my recipes that my mom used to make us for breakfast that I’ve adapted and made a little healthier. If you’re a little hesitant about using carrots because you think its weird or you’ve never really had them before in a muffin, I promise these are good! I wouldn’t post them if they weren’t! They store well in the freezer as well as on the counter in an air tight container- up to 4 days.

    I made these this morning and they’re delicious! I used maple and honey instead of brown sugar and coconut oil instead of canola because of personal preference but they are great. Even my picky almost-2 year old loves them!

    I had to tell you how much I’m enjoying this muffin! I did cut the sugar in half since I cut a lot of sugar out of my baking recipes and it’s still sweet enough. Thx for posting. Your blog is great and I can’t wait to try another recipe!
