Chef's Note
These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or can be frozen for up to 3 months. For best results, grate your carrots fresh rather than using pre-shredded ones, as they contain more moisture and flavor. If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
