Happy Easter Carrot Muffins
Rainy day = baking day. The little man wanted muffins so I found a bunch of things I wanted to use: 1 Brown Banana, applesauce, apple, and these beautifully colored carrots I just picked up from Trader Joes.

I altered the morning glory muffin recipe on this blog and came up with these… equally glorious muffins! The little one decided to call them Happy Easter muffins because the Easter bunny like carrots so much.

Little man chose the white and “red” carrots.
Happy Easter Muffins Batter
Scoop with the 1/4 baking cup for perfectly sized muffins, we got 17 muffins from this batch. If you have leftover spots in your muffin tray, just fill with a few tablespoons of water so it doesn’t warp the pan or give off a burning smell.
