    Turmeric Carrot Chia Muffins

    These are the perfect breakfast muffins— they’re just the right amount of sweetness, with a moist tender crumb and chewy edges. Made with shredded carrot, maple syrup, and applesauce instead of sugar or oil (also chock-full of fiber and nutrients!) with a boost of turmeric.
