Here at Molly Bea’s INGREDIENTS, we prepare our homes for the cold midwest winter in a few ways. The blankets and sweaters come out of storage, we make sure that the fireplace is ready to use and of course, we bake muffins for those days when a warm treat is necessary!

Whether choosing a recipe or coming up with your own, you’ll want to be sure to select only high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that you not only have a tasty snack, but that it also remains as healthy as possible — depending on the snack you’ve chosen. We can’t help you find a way to make Twinkies healthy, but feel free to send us your ideas! If they’re good, we might just share it in a future blog post.

Today we’re featuring a hearty and healthy Oatmeal-Carrot Fruit Muffin Recipe, brought to you by the American Institute for Cancer Research. Please note that we’ve added Molly Bea’s INGREDIENTS item numbers where applicable, should you need any of the ingredients.

Happy baking and be sure to comment and let us know how your muffins turn out!
