This recipe is a yummy way to eat your carrots. Great for snacks or a quick out the door breakfast.
Carrot Muffins have the look and flavor of a carrot cake only they are in muffin form. These cinnamon scented muffins are nice and moist and are loaded with flavorful ingredients;
Muffins are just Cupcakes without the frosting. Although these muffins need no adornment, sometimes I can’t resist smearing them with a little cream cheese icing.

Just made these today and they were so yummy! I made them with 1 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup ground flax seed, and I added a few more raisins because my kids love raisins. They were moist and flavorful. Great recipe that I’ll keep on hand!
April, I Love the ground flax seed idea!!!
