You ever open your crisper and see one carrot straying and not too sure what to do with it? Most times that carrot ends up in a soup, a pelau or some coleslaw. This recipe for carrot muffins is quick, easy and a great way to utilize those stray carrots in your fridge. I have to admit that I didn’t allow mine to cool completely because these are best enjoyed while still warm with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee.
