MUFFIN MONDAY

We were doing Muffin Mondays before we moved the kiddos enjoyed it but the move kind of threw my schedule out of whack this morning I actually got up and made muffins I went with a carrot cake type muffin (just for every one to know carrot cake is my first choice when it comes to any dessert bar) I had some carrots that needed to be used up in the fridge so pulled those out ran them through the food processor and than started combining recipes

this is the one I started with

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fluffy-carrot-muffins-with-cream-cheese-frosting/

I did not use the cream cheese frosting even though it would of been really good I didn't want all the extra sugar (there is already a full cup in the batter I might try substituting it with honey and applesauce next time) and fat from the cheese in a breakfast muffin... I did not have any veggie oil so I used half butter and half olive oil instead I added cardamon because I LOVE it and added raisins... these muffins were really really good but I will try to make them healthier next time
