Easy and Delicious Carrot Cake Muffins Recipe

The boys are going back to school in person tomorrow, and that means I have to start packing snacks and lunch for them once again.

To have healthy snacks ready for the week, I love baking some fresh muffins Sundays. I do different muffins every week, and I love sending them to school with delicious homemade snacks.

This week I made some delicious carrot cake muffins, and I am sharing the recipe with you here.

Carrots are loaded with vitamin A, beta-carotene, calcium, vitamin K, and fibre! So these muffins make a pretty good school snack! 

I love that these are also school-safe!

My youngest is always ready to help when I am in the kitchen, and he was a big help making these.

I really like that he is learning young and hopefully will continue baking homemade treats and cooking for himself as he gets older.
