These Carrot Cake Apple Breakfast Muffins are a delicious and healthier breakfast option for the family.
Hope you’re all doing well this winter and staying healthy! We’re all good so far, but hoping we don’t catch any flu this season. The flu sucks, right?
We’re trying to consume as many healthy ingredients as we can, be it in salads, main dishes, smoothies and sometimes even hiding them in our breakfast muffins 🙂
These Carrot Cake Apple Breakfast Muffins are simple and easy to make, as most of our recipes are. Because we hate complicated recipes and never want to spend hours and hours in the kitchen.
To make these breakfast muffins, you’ll need 2 bowls, 1 spatula, a grater, and a knife.
Start by adding the dry ingredients to 1 bowl. In a second bowl, mix eggs with sugar, then add in diced apples and grated carrots, chopped pecans and vegetable oil.
Lastly, combine the wet and dry ingredients and scoop the batter into the muffin tray. Then, off to the oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and you’re all done!
These Carrot Cake Apple Breakfast Muffins are a bit chunkier than your usual muffins, but pack plenty of goodies and very little added sugar, so they’re perfect for your breakfast meal.
