There is something comforting about having a warm breakfast. Maybe it’s the anticipation while waiting for something to bake, or that the act of baking seems like an invitation to take a minute and enjoy the flavours. Either way these apple and carrot muffins hit the spot every time. You would never know that they are gluten free and vegan. The apple comes through and the maple, cinnamon combination is dessert worthy.
