Secret Veggie Muffins

Delicious gluten free, no added sugar muffins with hidden veggies sweet potato and carrot!

If like me you are always thinking of ways to sneak in some extra veg to family meals you are going to love these Secret Veggie Muffins. Made using coconut flour (or almond flour), they are gluten free, have no added sugar and the secret veggie ingredients are sweet potato and carrot.

Personally I think they taste like mini carrot cakes. The natural sweetness of the carrots, together with the honey, means there’s no need for extra sugar. The combination of coconut flour and vegetables makes these muffins wonderfully dense and filling. I guarantee even the fussiest of cake-loving eaters will devour them!

At only 140 calories per muffin, these are a perfect guilt-free treat. They are so healthy, you could even serve them for breakfast. The muffins taste best straight from the oven but they will keep for a couple of days in an air-tight container.
