It's tough to find a delicious and healthy muffin, but these Carrot Apple Flax Muffins are the perfect option. Plus kids love them!
I am always on the search for healthy muffin recipes since the average coffee shop muffin has close to 500 calories. So when I saw these in the latest issue of Heatlh magazine, I couldn't wait to try them. Carrots, apples, flaxseeds, walnuts, and a touch of cinnamon come together for the perfect fall muffin. It's hearty and packed with fiber, which makes it perfect for a satisfying breakfast or snack that will keep you full.
They also remind me a bit of carrot cake, which is something I absolutely love. Sometimes I top them with with cream cheese to bring up that irresistable combination that is so good with carrot cake. Now this muffin is no where near as sweet as a traditional carrot cake, but it has a lot of the same flavors.
