carrot & sultana muffins
Is there anything quite like the smell of muffins baking in the house? There is something so comforting to me about the smell of cinnamon and sweetness. These muffins are super easy to make and make for a delicious breaky and lunch box addition. You can also make this into a carrot loaf like my mum did and top it with cream cheese frosting for an extra dollop of fun!
