I’d say that these moist carrot muffins, while still a sweet treat, are similar to bran muffins in that they pack a lot of healthy fiber thanks to the grated carrot and nuts. The nuts also provide a healthy source of plant-based fat. Aside from that, making your own carrot cake muffins at home will usually always be a healthier option since you have complete control over the ingredients and their quantities. I haven’t added a glaze or frosting to these muffins, so there's no added sugar.
