Cashew Breakfast Carrot Cake Muffins

Oh my word! These are delicious one of my friends said it reminded her of a cinnamon roll and another immediately demanded for another batch to be made. The texture is so perfect you would never guess it have whole wheat. Plus these have absolutely no added sugar and very little from actual fruit and vegetables in general yet they are surprisingly sweet. They also have lots of fiber, heart healthy fats and vitamins so its an easy something to have for breakfast but feel like you're having dessert. And the icing is no joke, tastes naughty but is so, so, nice. So get to baking and eat those carrots just in time for Easter!
