Moist and delicious Carrot Muffins made without refined sugars. These babies are sweetened with dates and maple sugar (or honey if you prefer) including the crunchy granola topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not a super sweet carrot cake like dessert-type muffin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead they have just a hint of sweetness making them great for breakfast or a dinner roll along side your favorite protein. This is a great recipe to use up any carrots the Easter Bunny or reindeer happen to leave behind (wink wink) and serve along with Easter brunch or Christmas dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Ingredients for Carrot Granola Muffins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use any color carrot<\/strong> you have. I used typical orange, but if I had the red ones we get from the CSA it would turn the batter a lovely pinkish hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dates<\/strong> are on the dry side, add them to the carrots the last few minutes of cooking to soften them back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, or any liquid sweetener<\/strong> will work for both the muffins and the granola. Choose your favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a vegan<\/strong> preparation use butter flavored coconut oil and an egg substitute like aquafaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use store-bought granola<\/strong> if you wish, just be sure to press it into the muffin batter a bit or it will all slide off after baking (like happened the first time I made these).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
