Sweet Sunday – Spiced Carrot Muffins

Happy Sunday to you all!

I’m thoroughly enjoing my very relaxing Sunday, my parents have gone out today, so I’ve go the house all to myself. This means that I’m currently blasting my music through the speakers and singing alone quite beautifully (not true) and quietly (also not true).

How’s your day so far?

For today I actually wanted to share an entirely different recipe, namely a recipe for croissants. But with many patisserie items you will not get it right the first try. I did not anyways… But I am going to get back on this later, cause I can’t stand not being able to make edible croissants. So stay tuned!

Thus, I am giving you the recipe for Spiced Carrot Muffins, which is equally as delicious but definitely a thousand times easier. Just mix all the ingredients together, and you’re ready to eat!

With autumn coming up, I feel like it’s time for baked goods that incorporate carrot and spices. To warm you up during the increasingly darker days and colder nights.

Honestly, the photo has turned out to look a bit christmassy, with the powdered sugar and red cupcake liners. Starting a bit early with preparations this year, I guess. The heart wants what the heart wants.

In my opinion, everyone should have a go-to recipe for Carrot Cake or Carrot Muffins. I hope this one might be yours…
