    Carrot Coconut Muffins Great for Breakfast or Snack

    Published: Aug 4, 2019 Β· Modified: Jan 25, 2022 by Audrey Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Healthy Carrot and Coconut muffins are a moist treat for breakfast on the go or an afternoon snack.

    These Carrot Coconut Muffins make a healthy breakfast or snack the whole family will enjoy.

    I am not going to lie, this is not an entirely new recipe to this blog. We had a drawer full of carrots in the fridge so I started making up a loaf or two of carrot bread. It is like the one at Mimi's only with far less oil and sugar. I had to move the coconut to get to the baking soda so I was inspired to add some to one loaf.

    Then I remembered school is starting in two weeks and muffins are easier to pack for mid-morning snack than the bread is. And muffins bake faster than bread. Cooler house in summer time for the win.

    After they cooled I plopped them into a zip to lock freezer bag and they are ready to go when that first bell rings.
