When most people think of a muffin, they imagine a boring plain cake. However, there are so many flavours available, all taste buds are accounted for. Carrot and Cranberry Muffins are ideal for those who think outside of the box. Combining fruit and vegetables is not new but in muffins it is. I have these as snacks but also as breakfast when on the go. Either way, they are so good. If you prefer, we also have Banana & Peanut Butter Muffins, Lemon Ginger Muffins and Spiced Peach Muffins to try amongst many other recipes. Just search for Muffins by clicking here.
