Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins

Hi everyone! Maria here from Spinach for Breakfast. Tis' the season of baking with vegetables! Zucchini bread, sweet potato pie, and carrot muffins are some of my favorites. You get something sweet, but still nutritious!

These Carrot Cake Muffins with lightened up icing are one of my favorite cozy winter breakfast or dessert. Plus, carrot provides an excellent source of vitamins – and we all know how important vitamin C is for our health and our skin.

One of my absolute favorite products by Odacité is the C for Colette serum. It's worth the splurge! It has 15% Vitamin C to help even out the appearance of skin tone, target signs of aging and fight skin fatigue. I slather it on during these cold winter months.

Enjoy these muffins on a chilly night! Recipe below :-)
