Carrot Bran Muffins

My baby is 8 today!  It feels like just yesterday he was born.  So sweet, innocent and teeny.   And today, only 8 short years later, he is only a foot and a half shorter than me and an incredbly strong, independent and dynamic little boy, with his own beliefs and opinions.  This morning as we enjoyed these yummy birthday muffins and he tore open his new nerf gun, it was hard to believe how fast the time went.  He is really blossoming into a mature boy and I am so proud of him.

These carrot oat bran muffins are a great combination of healthy and delicious.  Oat bran is generally gluten-free and I use pamela’s gluten-free baking blend in place of regular flour.  They are full of fiber and the carrots and bananas add a bonus serving of fruit and veg. Enjoy!
