If you love carrot cake as much as I do then these Carrot Cake Muffins are perfect for an anytime treat.

These muffins are super easy to make & their healthy too.

I didn’t add any toppings to my muffins but a dollop of cream cheese will go perfectly. Walnuts may also be added to the mixture if you desire.

Carrot Cake Muffins Ingredients:

• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 carrots, grated
• 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter

• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
