We've heard so many good things about our banana bread protein muffins that we thought we should share another simple protein muffin recipe! These carrot cake muffins are made in one bowl and take about 30 minutes from start to finish. The recipe is simple enough that kids can help with every step. I give these to the kids as part of their breakfast or pack them in their lunches. They would also make a great snack for before or after sporting events or traveling in the car.
Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 20 minutes | Total time: 30 minutes | Yields: 12 muffins
