The most amazing Whole Wheat Apple Carrot Muffins! With apples, carrots, flax seeds, and whole wheat flour, they’re full of nutritional benefits.


These Whole Wheat Apple Carrot Muffins have been my go-to easy, healthy breakfast for a few weeks now! I’ve been keeping them in the freezer and popping one in the microwave when I need a quick breakfast on-the-go, and they’ve quickly become a staple. I love a good muffin recipe!!

Full of nutrients from the whole wheat flour, apples, and carrots, these are an ideal way to start the day!! My sister and I have been obsessing over them.

This muffin recipe is actually similar to a recipe that’s been floating around the internet for a while now, originally taken from the back of the Bob’s Red Mill flax seed bag. However, while making the muffins for my health-conscious sister Shaina I knew I needed to improve on the already-healthy muffins and still make them taste like heaven. I think I did it!! I hope you’ll try out these fantastic carrot muffins soon.
