Banana Carrot Muffins

---

Banana carrot muffins are a great twist on the classic banana bread favorite. They are perfect for a play date snack or a breakfast on the go. I do not like the idea of sneaking in vegetables. So I will say this is a great way to introduce or put your kids on the path towards liking them! Even the picky eaters in my circle loved these!
