Egg Less Carrot Muffin
By Harini
I am into lots of baking these days.I bake some sort of muffins with wheat four and any fruit for my daughter's snacks twice or thrice a week.She loves these muffins,she likes to remove the liner and eat it all on her own and I am very happy and satisfied as I know these muffins are not only tasty but healthy too.I feel it is good to introduce different kinds of foods especially to toddlers as they may get bored with same kind of food.Different colors and flavors will sure entice them and we just have make sure those flavors and colors comes from natural and healthy ingredients.These kind of finger foods are great for toddlers who wish to feed on their own.I have already blogged about few healthy muffins recipes here,and here is one more addition to the list.The other day I was all set to prepare my usual vanilla muffins and then I thought of making it more healthy,I added some grated carrots and handful of raisins.It was such a great treat for us,we enjoyed it warm with coffee.You may choose to leave out raisins but I strongly recommend you add them :)
