Even my mama said these muffins were the best muffins she’d ever had and she asked for them for her birthday. I guess I could give her a basket full of muffins and put a candle in one! 🙂
These muffins are so easy to make – the hardest part is peeling and shredding the carrots… but if you buy your carrots pre-shredded, you’re saving yourself a step and about 10 minutes.
I eat these muffins for breakfast, a snack and/or dessert… THEY’RE THAT GOOD!
I hope you enjoy these Pineapple Carrot Muffins as much as I have over the years. Â Happy baking!
