BLW Carrot and Coconut Sugar-Free Muffins
Makes 12
These little cakes have extra texture from the carrot, coconut and oats. They are sweetened naturally by the banana, and the fruit and vegetables help contribute to your little one’s healthy diet.
When peeled from their paper cases these are the perfect size for little hands to hold and so make a great snack.
These take only a gentle stir so can be made quickly and easily and can be frozen once baked.
