Eggless Carrot Muffins | Eggless Butterless Carrot Muffins

By Ramya21
 Baked some stuffs yesterday due to my shifting and dont know whether i have oven there.So here am posting some baked goodies this week.I know in this hot summer how i able to knead the dough and bake and all but i am posting some simple goodies only.These goodies are really easy to make and i turned this as eggless and butterless.Check out my Chocolate babka muffins which is an Easter  recipe ,banana muffins and strawberry muffins i posted here.Chocolate babka muffins is my favorite now and i prepared another recipe for Easter celebration which is favorite for Bunny.
 
Bunny is my favorite character in the film Rise of the Guardians which released in 2012 and all the characters are my favorite eventhough that is a fantasy film.The film is really enjoyable one and cant bore even you see that film million times.Tooth fairy ,Santa,Bunny,Snowman,Sandman all are in competition in collecting the tooth from kids and returning a gift or gold coin.Really seeing that scene, i think why we again go to our childhood immediately.The main theme of the film is outrage your fear and bravely attempt your challenges in depth of the heart otherwise you will immerse in Nightmares.Thats a wonderful film i ever saw,i think this is childish but any message through any film is accepted without any prohibition.By the way,we are kids by heart,right.The film also had Easter celebration and there they paint eggs with paints and carved eggs and deviled eggs are made for this occasion.
Bunny's favorite is carrot and the carrot based cakes and cupcakes are widely baked across the world for Easter.Here i made my eggless and also butterless muffins from carrot along with honey,thick yogurt and unflavored oil or vegetable oil.You can also replace yogurt with ricotta cheese too.I added cashews instead of walnuts and these came out very well. I had an idea to make the recipe with frosting but unfortunately the climate did not cooperate me.So left that and go with plain muffins.Try this muffins with frosting with different flavors and sprinkles.
