Sometimes irritable, bored kids are inevitable in my house when the weather isn’t great. And because I’m quite possibly the worst crafter on the face of the planet, my poor children can go a little crazy over weekends. After games and books and quick trips to the store are all exhausted, I desperately need something to distract my three girls from the arguing and fighting. Show Baking to the rescue. My 3 and 5-year-old daughters love to help out in the kitchen. And their older sister loves to eat baked goods. So we set to whipping up a batch of carrot applesauce muffins. This recipe is inspired by the carrot applesauce muffins from 100 Days of Real Food. I absolutely love that site. And the recipes rarely need any changing, but I made a small tweak here and there to make these muffins more me. You’ll Need

Secretly I think it would be hilarious if she (yes, it’s a girl!) was born on October 18th…. the day A&M plays Alabama. Man I’d love to see Matt’s face on that one. We’d definitely have to have the game on TV in the hospital. Lol. As I said, I haven’t really been in the mood to blog or even cook. You really do sleep a lot when you’re pregnant, and I got no less than 10 hours a day in my first trimester. A few days ago, I was craving muffins. I wanted to make a healthy kind, and preferably with carrots and/or applesauce in them. Thanks to Google search, I discovered a tasty recipe from 100 Days of Real Food that had nothing but good, wholesome ingredients: whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat), carrots, applesauce, cinnamon, and honey instead of sugar. Did you get that??? NO SUGAR are in these muffins!! These were super simple to whip up and more than likely, you may already have all the ingredients on hand. Taste-wise, I really liked these. At first, I was expecting my typical banana nut muffin recipe of a sugary, nutty (and unhealthy) muffin, so when I first bit into the carrot applesauce muffin, I was a little disappointed. Truly I think it’s because my brain thought I was about to eat the banana nut muffin. However, the next day, for some reason the muffins tasted even better! I had one for breakfast and drizzled it with a little honey. The cinnamon flavor really shines in these muffins and pairs perfectly with the carrots and applesauce. Matt is not shy to EVER express his opinion, and actually liked these! I half expected him to spit it out, but he said he truly enjoyed them. Shocker since these are so healthy!! 🙂 Anyways, these will definitely be on my “favorites” list and I will be making them again in the near future!
