These delicious Whole Wheat Carrot Apple Muffins are perfect to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee while on your way to work! Make a batch today & grab these for your weekday morning rush!
Something Life Changing happened over the weekend friends. For me as you might have figured by now, food is a big deal and during the weekend I was able to perfect another version of my all time favorite breakfast food -> MUFFINS. Now I am already crazy about my whole wheat blueberry muffins ( have you tried those yet?) but now these are my new breakfast bff’s !
Presenting WHOLE WHEAT, NO BUTTER, NO EGGS, SUPER MOIST, packed with lots of good-for-you ingredients, freshly grated CARROTS & APPLES and BANANA puree MUFFINS. These muffins – everyone will go crazy for them. They are everything a good muffin should. What they are not is – not overloaded with sugar (there is still sugar but in reasonable amounts!), no butter (replaced by apple sauce and some oil), no all purpose flour (replaced by fiber filled whole wheat flour) and all real ingredients!
These muffins take start to finish just under an hour and while watching lots & lots of Bones ( that show!), I baked 2 batches and once completely cooled, I placed them in ziplock bags and in fridge ready to grab & go every morning!
Do you guys get food prepared on weekends to make life on weekdays or you do everything as & when you need it? Lately I have been trying to make more food over the weekends and freezing the extras so even if we get no time to cook, we always have home cooked meals on hand. And it’s bean a life saver too. Few days back when I realised it was already past 9 pm, frozen homemade black bean chili and quick 30 min fresh cornbread made a yummy dinner!
Hope you all had a great Easter! Did you guys cook for a large gathering or kept it quite and small?!

Well, these look utterly good and good for you! Yum and congrats on muffin success!
We try to do the prep food on the weekend thing, but that kinda changed once I started writing the blog. Now we just strategically plan recipes so that we make something dinner-ish early in the week, and that way we can come up with leftovers throughout the week. But don’t start the week off with pie. Then you have nothing to eat for dinner but pie. Trust me, I’ve been there. But I think I would gladly make these muffins on a Monday…who says Carrot Apple Muffins for dinner is a bad thing? 🙂
What a lovely afternoon snack. Perfect with a big cup of coffee I think. I could definitely go one of these now.
I love baking muffins, almost my to-go for breakfast! Your apple carrot muffins sounds healthy and look delicious 🙂
These look delicious Ami , plus they are healthy too? Give me the entire plate! Pinned!
I love finding truly healthy snacks like this for my kiddos — I know everyone would love these!
