CLAIRE CAN COOK

Over two years ago I made some strawberry oats muffins that I really enjoyed, and I have not been able to find the recipe since. I opened my fridge yesterday and saw a big basket of strawberries my mom and sister, Annie, had picked up at Ikeda's Market on their way home from Tahoe. The strawberries somehow reminded me of those muffins I made oh so long ago and inspired me to put my improvising chef hat on. I got some strawberries, apple sauce, and Bob's Red Mill free oats

Anyone who knows me knows that carrots are one of my absolute favorite foods. These muffins are just another delicious was to incorporate this delicious veggie into the most important meal of the day. These muffins are also great because they have protein sources such as flax meal, hemp seeds, and oats. Also these yummy muffins are oil free! Ingredients 3 tablespoons flax meal 1 large carrot 3/4 cups apple sauce 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon agave 1 mashed banana 2 tablespoon
