I know I am not the only parent who tries to get their kids to eat their veggies. Well this time I tried making these carrot and apple muffins. I thought my son would like something sweet by he didn’t really like this. I really enjoyed it though. These were super moist and tasty and it was because of of the apple that is in this recipe.

Prep work for this recipe wasn’t too bad either. You will need to grate the apple and the carrots. Assembly was easy as you just mix everything together.

Start by mixing the eggs, oil and sugar. I also used half coconut sugar and half white sugar.

Mix in the dry ingredients and then add in your grated apple and carrot. Mix well.

The batter is quite chunky but gives the muffins a great texture.

Portion the batter into tins. I opted for mini cupcake tins as I wanted to little quick snacks.

Bake at 375 Degrees for about 17 minutes.

Enjoy for breakfast or as a snack or even dessert. They are great on their own and I think would pair well with some cream cheese icing. Enjoy.
