Healthy Carrot Apple Muffins

I love these healthy carrot apple muffins. They are one of my favourites and are so easy to put together. My kids love these and often ask for them. I add a little shredded coconut to them for added texture and flavour. They are chock full of fiber too. Once you try them, you will keep coming back for more.
