Golden Morning Muffins
If you’re looking for a wholesome muffin with EVERYTHING in it, you’re in luck! We saw these printed in the paper and couldn’t wait to try them.
Literally these muffins have tons of good stuff in them! You’ll get your veggies in with the carrots and parsnips, your fruit from the pineapple and apple, and lots of crunch with pepitas or walnuts or pecans, your choice!
You can save yourself time if you get a helper to grate the carrots and apple, but otherwise these are easy to make.
Enjoy!
