Pineapple Carrot Muffins

These muffins are delicious! They are moist, have no refined sugar, still sweet and full of good stuff! Owen helped me put all the ingredients in (except the eggs) and we "mix, mix, mixed." 20 minutes later, Voila, we had yummy muffins fresh out of the oven. Adam packed them up as part of Owen's snack at the zoo today. They were a hit! Enjoy!
