Healthy Carrot and Walnut Muffin – Little Big H

/

These carrot and walnut muffins are really delicious, and with 2 cups of carrot they are also good for you.  I always like to have a batch of muffins in the freezer, they are super handy for lunch boxes or healthy snack on the run.  

They aren’t overly sweet so if you like things a little sweeter increase the amount of honey or add a good handful of currants or raisins.  Enjoy xx
