Apples-Blueberries-Carrots all in a muffin!

My beautiful ninjas! This recipe is so very dear to me for more than one reason. There was a time that I disliked apples and carrots and now, sigh! I use them in most of my baking recipes! These muffins make for the most amazing breakfast either to go or to top it off with some yogurt and enjoy your morning! The blueberries on top add to the healthy quotient besides, who doesn’t love blueberries in their muffins! One bite of this and I was completely smitten and so was my husband! Apple and carrots added with a mix of cashews, walnuts and raisins give all the goodness to that essential meal of the day. Yes, I believe in a whole hearty breakfast to  jumpstart your day and get you all the energy you need. One muffin of this size with your cuppa tea/coffee and you are good to go! Husband enjoys it for
dinner sometimes with a heaping spoon of almond butter. If your kids are anything like I
was, these muffins are the best way to ensure that they get all the vitamins and minerals they need, first thing in the morning and keep them full and energized for hours. Hope y’all enjoy it!

I save some toasted walnuts to add to the top along with some blueberries.
