Easter is all about rabbits, rabbits eat carrots so carrot muffins are seasonal (aren’t they). This is probably the best free-from bake together with my healthy banana cake. I was surprised by how moist and perfectly sweet they were. Are these the flaounas of the future? (Just kidding, nothing can substitute those.
I added pineapple in half as I wasn’t sure of the outcome but the ones with both pineapple and carrots were quite exotic.
