Apple Carrot Mini-muffins

Mini-muffins are a great lunchbox item.  You can make a big batch and then freeze them to pull out the night before and throw in the lunchboxes in the morning.  Muffins can sometimes be a bit questionable on how healthy they are, especially store bought ones.  These hit the mark on being healthy, yet still give a bit of a sweet factor with a cream cheese glaze on top.

The food processor certainly makes grating easy.  Mine is a hand-me-down from my mom that is close to 30 years old.  If that isn't a great endorsement for Cuisinart I don't know what is. 

I brought these on a playdate and they got mixed reviews.  The majority of the kids ate one or two, one girl ate at least 5 and was shocked when she heard they had carrots.  Another child didn't like them at all.  They definitely aren't too sweet and have a bit of a healthy taste to them but overall I think they were good enough to make again.   You could add some additions like coconut or raisins to add a little more interest.
