There is a lot of whole wheat, carrots, and orange zest in these muffins. Little to no guilt and a ton of flavor; wonderful!

Reviews
I double ginger and put half a cup of finely cut up crystallised ginger in too. Very yummy and super moist. I just whizzed up the unpeeled apple till it was fine, easier than grating. Very nice loaf thank you. Making it a second time this arvo.
