Carrot Cake Muffin Treats
Made these muffins along with the pineapple bran muffins. They were super moist and delicious too. There is no refined sugar added in this recipe, but the muffins were sweet enough because of the pineapples and raisins that also added some extra goodness as well. It did taste like a carrot cake but much lower fat and calories.
