Healthy Carrot Muffins

Not all muffins are created equal.

Some muffins are full of sugar and without fiber. Some muffins are made with as little sugar as possible.

Just because muffins are not loaded with sugar doesn’t mean that they are lacking in taste.

My children love muffins and I try to make sure that most of the muffins I feed to children are low in sugar, low in fat and contain some fiber.
