If I take our family’s favorite carrot cake recipe, which is full of fruits and veggies, bake it in muffin tins and leave off the frosting… that’s breakfast, right?
This way, I don’t have to wait until a special occasion or feel guilty for eating cake. It’s just carrot muffins for breakfast. Muffins with carrots, applesauce, pineapple, raisins, and coconut. A perfectly acceptable breakfast.
I left out the raisins in mine and added a cup of pecans. Use the toothpick test to determine if they are done and store in a tightly sealed container or freeze.
This recipe made 2 dozen delicious, moist, carrot muffins. I almost didn’t miss the frosting. Almost. It seemed like they could use just a little something else.
I tried these carrot muffins with Brummel & Brown which is made with nonfat yogurt, giving it a smooth, creamy taste. It contains 50% less fat and calories than butter and there’s no cholesterol per serving. Brummel & Brown has 0 grams trans fat per serving and no partially-hydrogenated oils.
It was the perfect way to top off these carrot muffins. My boys liked these muffins with the Brummel & Brown, too. I didn’t tell them that this was the same recipe that I use to make carrot cake, so they weren’t wondering where the frosting was! And since these muffins freeze so well, I plan on making a few batches and freezing them so we’ll have them on hand for breakfast.
While I’ve enjoyed Brummel & Brown on these carrot muffins and on the rolls I made last weekend, it is really versatile. You can use it on its own or as part of easy recipes. Be sure to visit the Brummel & Brown page on Facebook for recipe ideas and other usage tips.

I love all things carrot so this is right up my ally. I ate an amazing carrot cake for Mother’s Day, this looks like a little lighter option!
I love a good carrot cake! I like the idea of using yogurt as the spread!
This is quite a mix of ingredients.. I wonder if I made these I could trick my kids into eating healthy w these ingredients.
Even my pickiest eats these, as long as I leave out the nuts and raisins. But my other two gobble them up no matter what.
Less than 10 minutes? And they look amazing.
This might be crazy to ask, but how do you shred your carrots?
It would be less than 5 if it weren’t for grating the carrots! I use a potato peeler to get off the outer layer and throw it away. Then I use a cheese grater to shred the carrots.
I love carrot cake and I love coconut. So I think I’d love this! I can’t believe they are so quick to prep too. Thanks for sharing!
Yum! These look so good. Good for you too!
Heck yeah – those sound great. I’m a brummel and brown fan to begin with.
I have to try these! I love baking with applesauce, too. It adds a nice texture to things.
Adding the yogurt sounds interesting. Never thought of adding coconut.
they sound and look scrumptious. Yum. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
They look healthy and delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I love carrot cake, but have never tried carrot muffins. I think I need to fix that asap! These look so good!
That sounds like an excellent combination. I had never thougth about putting butter on my muffins. I will have to try that out soon.
Those look so good. I’d love to have one warm with some butter on it for a snack!
These look so delicious! I love making muffins for breakfast . My daughter thinks their cupcakes!
I must agree, that DEFINITELY counts as breakfast. I mean, it does have healthy stuff in it plus topped with that delicious nonfat yogurt, it’s an overall healthy breakfast! You’re doing the world a favor, really 😉
I’ve heard of Brummel & Brown but never tried it. I’m intrigued!
Those look yummy! The yogurt in the Brummel & brown sounds so interesting, I’ll have to look for that.

It sounds delicious and that’s the perfect way to top them – with Brummel and Brown! I like your “breakfast” idea. 🙂
those muffins sound awesome! I’d love to make them and try the B@B yogurt spread.
What if some cream cheese icing acideentally found it’s way on the muffins. Could I call that breakfast too? Those look delicious!
This is right up my alley. I love carrot and pineapple and now am going to make this recipe! Great one, thanks for sharing!!
Wow! These look so yummy! I’m sure my kids would eat these all day and not just for breakfast!
What a tasty sounding combination. I would never have thought to put them together.
