If you are looking for a muffin recipe that the whole family will love, this carrot and quinoa muffin recipe is for you! We make these muffins regularly in our house as a special treat for the kids (and the adults too!) as they are a filling snack and most importantly, easy to put together. What I also like about them is that although the kids are having a treat, they are still getting some good stuff into them thanks to the inclusion of carrot, dates and quinoa.
Another plus for this recipe is that it makes a large batch of muffins (approximately 24) and I like to freeze half of them in either individual or portions of 2-3 muffins for an easy lunchbox treat or snack. We also use this recipe to make a carrot and quinoa cake (which is delicious topped with cream cheese icing!) and cook it for approximately 45 – 50 minutes in a 20 cm square cake tin.
