Secrets that no one will tell you about make muffins

  1. For extra sweetness, you can add a handful of dark chocolate chips to the batter.
  2. If you prefer a gluten-free version, you can substitute the whole wheat flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  3. Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins such as shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or chopped dates.
  4. Make sure to grate the carrots finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the muffins.
  5. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
