Enjoy a lightly spiced carrot muffin that the whole family will love. Perfect for breakfast or dessert. A great recipe to make with – or for- your tribe. Carrots are a beneficial way to start the day because they have a high fiber content. They’re also rich in beta-carotene which is known to act as an antioxidant that fights cancer and other inflammatory age-related diseases.
