I love making muffins on Sunday morning because they are typically easy to whip up and we have them as easy breakfasts or snacks for the coming week. These carrot cake muffins, in particular, are a great breakfast choice since they are high in protein and healthy fat—so they will keep you satisfied throughout the morning.
As always, if you try this recipe, be sure to take a picture and tag me in it on Instagram @thelocalsprout. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
