Carrot Cake Protein Muffins

 

I guess this is pretty cheeky to call it a “Carrot Cake Protein Muffin” as quite honestly, it doesn’t really resemble a carrot cake at all.

Well, apart from having carrot in it.

That’s not to say it doesn’t taste awesome though, the carrot gives theses Carrot Cake Protein Muffins a natural sweetness as well as tons of beta carotene and vitamin A.

On a side note, I also think I’ve cracked how to make decent muffins with oat flour that don’t cave in when you cook them. 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp of baking powder seems to do the trick!!
