RECIPE: Wholesome carrot and apple muffins
I am a massive fan of baked goods but I often find store bought or cafe items to be full of stuff I don't want to eat; margarine, refined sugar and processed white flour. these muffins are sweetened naturally and are a delicious, dense treat. they are perfect for long car trips, after a training session or the afternoon munchies
