What makes these carrot muffins healthy?

• Sugar-free! That's right, you won't find any added sugar in these muffins. Because we use bananas, which are naturally very sweet, we don't have to add any additional sugar.
• Almond flour. These are grain-free, paleo carrot muffins so you can feel great about eating them. We all know that almonds are very healthy, but they're also very filling. One muffin will fill you up with nutrient-dense calories.
• Bananas and carrots. Fruit and veggie-filled muffins!
• Eggs. Nutrient-packed superfood.
• Coconut oil. Full of healthy fatty acids.

3 ways to love your carrot muffins

1. Just take a bite. These guys are moist enough that they are perfect all on their own. Most of the time this is how I eat them.
2. With a slather of butter and a drizzle of honey. Not going to lie, honey and butter on carrot muffins is the best.
3. With a little (or heck, a lot) of honey cream cheese frosting piped or slathered over the top. This truly turns them into carrot cake muffins and crosses the boundary between breakfast muffins to something closer to dessert.

• Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling them all the way to the very top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean.

Notes

To make some honey cream cheese frosting, whip 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of honey.

If you try to peel off the muffin liners before the muffins are cool, they will stick together. Wait until the muffins have cooled properly and they will peel off easily.
