Gluten-Free Carrot Muffins - Quick breakfast or post-workout meal
When the holiday season was in full swing, I found myself wanting to bake! But rather than baking up some high-calorie and sugar-loaded cookies, I like to get my baking fix by whipping up some of my healthy alternatives.

My Gluten-Free Carrot Muffins satisfy both my baking fix and serve as a great balanced meal when I am on the go! Whether you are in need of quick breakfast or a pre- or post-workout meal, these muffins are the perfect option. They are full of healthy fats from the coconut and almonds, and have a good ratio of carbs and protein. Satisfy your taste buds while staying slim and trim!
