Over the years I’ve shared about my husband’s love of carrot cake. While I personally wouldn’t want a carrot cake for my birthday (bring on the funfetti for me!) it’s C’s preference so every year on May 22nd, that’s what we do. I mean I can’t be mad that he wants vegetables in his birthday cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while I do love a good cream cheese frosting, carrot cake is simply not feasible or desired the remaining 364 days of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter these carrot cake muffins! They’re basically the best of carrot cake but in a smaller bite and with a healthful twist. And given that I’ve made my fair share of carrot cake, you can trust that these muffins have absolutely been put to the test and passed with flying colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Make This Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They’re Healthy!<\/strong> – Instead of traditional fats and milk like butter and cream, these carrot cake muffins are made with coconut oil and almond milk. They’re also sweetened entirely with maple syrup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meal Prep + Freezer Friendly <\/strong>– These carrot cake muffins can easily be baked in advanced and either stored as leftovers or in the freezer. I’d recommend holding off on pre-making the cream cheese frosting and instead frost them fresh but it comes together easily so you can make it right before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An extra serving of veggies <\/strong>– You can easily get a nutrition boost from the shredded carrots which basically means you’re eating carrots for breakfast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
