Carrot Muffins
Carrot muffins are soft, moist, and naturally sweet, making them a perfect treat for breakfast or a snack. The grated carrots add a subtle sweetness and keep the muffins tender without making them heavy. A touch of cinnamon enhances the warm flavor, while simple ingredients like flour, eggs, and sugar come together for a delicious, easy-to-make recipe.

- 1 ½ cups grated carrots
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
