Another day, another muffin recipe…. I have to share this one as it, once again, fulfills many of my criteria to healthier food: these muffins are vegan and sugar free, only three tablespoons of agave syrup are added for six muffins. They contain vegetables, fruit and dried fruit. As all my muffins, they are made with whole wheat flour, but rolled oats and flax seeds are added to it.
And apart from all that, they are utterly delicious. I like the combination of banana and carrot, it’s a very tasty combination, especially with allspice and cinnamon added. In fact, I had to make them three times in a row, as they were always eaten up before I could take pictures.
