“Chocolate carrot cake muffins”

Nothing beats a simple muffin recipe, right? Carrots- like pumpkin, baby marrow, sweet potato and cauliflower (to a certain extent), are neutral tasting veggies and can be used to bulk up a recipe. If you have a kiddo (or a husband like mine) who isn’t a fan of veggies, then consider grating or pureeing a few of those and hiding them in a recipe…They will never know 😉

I initially wanted to save this recipe for a secret project that I am working on but I didn’t feel right not sharing this…SO please, give this recipe a bash and tag me in it if you do!!!

  3. To a blender, add the eggs, honey and coconut oil and blend for 90 seconds (or until light and fluffy)
