Carrot-Raisin Mini Muffins (V, GF)

September 21, 2017 By Danielle 2 Comments

vegan and gluten-free carrot raisin muffins www.redkitchenette.comIt’s hot and muggy in NYC right now, definitely now what I imagined the beginning of fall to feel like. Thankfully, our local farmers’ markets feels a lot like fall. It’s filled with pumpkins, straw scarecrows, squashes, gourds, and gorgeous carrots. Couldn’t help but pick up a few to make these delicious carrot-raisin muffins.

These muffins are easy enough that my (almost) 3 and 5 year old were able to make them almost entirely themselves. They are delicious enough that you may want to eat the whole batch in one seating. They are healthy enough that you can serve them at breakfast, as a snack, as a dessert, or in a lunchbox. And lastly, they are the one thing that is making me feel like my FAVORITE season is finally approaching.

These Carrot-Raisin Muffins Are: 

  • Healthy
  • Vegan
  • Gluten Free
  • Refined Sugar Free
  • Perfect for babies and toddlers
  • Easy enough for kids to make
  • Delicious
  • Portable
