A muffin recipe for the beginner’s. I would still call myself a beginner too. This recipe is a fool-proof one where you will not make any mistakes. You can add on flavours as you please like, vanilla essence or any of your favourite spice. Cinnamon / cloves or even both together goes very well with carrots. Having one of these muffins will not make you fell guilty!
