Cheese and carrot muffins

Today I want to share with you guys this delicious Cheese and carrot muffins recipe. We love muffins in our family, because are tasty, easy to make,  and because we have a toddles is easy to take them with us when going out. I have many Muffins recipes that I will love to share with you, but these days I’m just trying my best to find more time to do this,  when someone little is keeping me busy 🙂 .

These Cheese and carrot muffins are one of my favourite, probably this is the reason why I have decided to share this recipe now and not a different one. My favourite because:

1. First of all are made with so many healthy ingredients, like cheddar cheese, Parmesan , fresh eggs, carrots and yogurt.
2. Then are not difficult to make.
3. And as I was saying before, we are going out for a play often with our little one,  and we can easily take some in our lunch box. In just one little muffin we have, cheese and vegetables and much more.

Ingredients that you need 

• eggs
• carrots
• natural yogurt
• hard cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• olive oil
• all purpose flour
• Italian spices
• fresh parsley
• garlic
• milk
• salt and pepper
• baking soda and baking powder

I know that looking at the list of ingredients they may look allot, but most of them are already in your kitchen, like eggs, milk, cheese – basis ingredients.

How to make these Cheese and carrot muffins?

1. Starting by having all the ingredients at the room temperature. Seeing that we are using cheddar cheese, milk and yogurt that normally are kept in the fridge, just make sure you have them out from the fridge,  and all at the room temperature.
2. Then grate the carrots, hard cheese, garlic and Parmesan cheese. I used the big one for the cheese and small one for the garlic and Parmesan.
3. Mix in a small bowel the flour, pepper and baking powder. Set one side until needed.
4. Please do not add salt until the very end, and only after trysting. Because both of the cheese have salt, Parmesan cheese more then the hard cheese, you may not need extra salt in these muffins.
