Oh these sound yummy. I’ll have to share the recipe with our daughter. She is vegan and always looking to try new recipes.
Interesting … wouldn’t have thought to use carrots in a recipe! Sounds like a healthy snack.
These look delicious! Thank you for the recipe! I love carrot muffins.
LOVE it when I see good vegetarian and/or vegan recipes. These look fairly easy to make too. Definitely going to have to try it out!
I’m not vegan but these definitely look delicious! I love when you can sneak some vegetables in to something the kids wouldn’t suspect. I love carrot cake so I’m sure these would be a great addition to my recipes.
These look great and I love that you used healthy ingredients. I’m wanting to eat one!
Amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing this. Might try this soon!
