Carrot Cake Muffins




Hello Everyone,

I hope you're having a great week so far.It's Sunday and I'm very pleased with myself,because I got quite a few things done this week!School starts tomorrow and I try my best to do the most of my last day of summer break.Why do all good things have to come to an end?It feels like yesterday was 1 July and I was packing for vacation,all exited for the upcoming adventures,but we've already entered the month of September,sick!Looking back,I've had the most amazing summer break in a long time with lots of incredible moments to remember ;)

Either way,today it's all about those delicious,moist and flavorful carrot cake muffins.And guess what....I've used no oil for this recipe and they are very low in fat!
Those goodnesses are very similar to ones in my previous post on Cherry Muffins,the bather is the same I've just replaced the cherry's with grated carrots,added some nuts and coconut flakes and switched up the spices.What I'm trying to say is that you could also do chocolate,blueberry,pumpkin or even lemon muffins using the same bather,only replacing a few ingredients.
To put it in a nutshell,I'll see you next week with a new recipe,enjoy your Sunday and let's get started with the recipe!
