Healthy Carrot Muffins
It's the muffins that are healthy. Not the carrots. I wouldn't even know how to tell if a carrot was healthy. I mean, they're probably healthy. At least healthy for you. I dunno, I'm not a vegeterinarian.

8 Pitted Dates
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup pure Maple Syrup

Blend to a rough puree. You don't want the batter perfectly smooth, and you probably won't even be able to achieve that. Just blend until you get an even mix.

Grease a muffin pan with spray oil. I prefer a 6-muffin pan for this recipe. The larger muffins will take longer to cook.

Bake for about 25 minutes for larger muffins, 20 minutes for smaller muffins.
