This week I will introduce you to an easy muffin recipe that is healthier than most. Why is it healthier? Simple, carrots, blueberries, healthy avocado oil, and as a sweetener a splash of pure maple syrup.

Have you ever tried avocado oil in baking? Not only it offers heart-healthy benefits, but it adds a delicious nutty flavor. This muffin is also protein-packed keeping your hunger at bay. But, most importantly, this gluten-free carrot blueberry muffin is addictively delicious and super moist. I promise you will love this healthy muffin recipe!

    Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F and line a muffin pan with parchment paper liners. I always use parchment paper liners, they keep muffins from sticking to the paper
  • In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients
  • In a large bowl whisk together milk, maple syrup, oil, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add to dry ingredients and mix to combine. Gently stir in carrots and blueberries
  • Pour batter into prepared muffin pan and bake for 35 minutes until golden and firm to touch
