Tasty & Healthy Gluten-Free Carrot Apple Muffins

Oh, spring! You bring with you warmer days, blue skies, and chirping birds. How refreshing it is to see the grass and buds on the trees – however, I was not expecting my family to get an unfortunate bout of the spring flu.

First my son fell sick, then my daughter, and now my husband! I’ve been pumping Vitamin C and resting with my kiddos (face to the sky!), since all they want to do is cuddle, all while praying that I won’t get sick too. So far so good, and I’m thankful that one of us is still standing to be able to take care of the rest! Although my family’s menu for the past week has mostly consisted of saltines, soda water, and popsicles – I know the moment they are feeling better their appetite will return with a vengeance. And friends, I’ll be ready!

These scrumptious, hearty gluten-free carrot apple muffins will be waiting. They’re nutritious, delicious, mouth-watering, and have the perfect crumb. Full of delectable flavour, they taste so good in the morning with a cup of coffee, tea, or a tall glass of cold coconut milk (our kiddos fave). The grated apple and carrots, oatmeal, and low sugar in the muffins make them a healthy choice that’s ideal for breakfast or snack.

I’ve whipped up a batch and frozen them, so they’re ready to thaw and enjoy as soon as everyone pulls through – which I’m hoping is soon!

I hope you’ll give this tasty and healthy muffin recipe a try!
