Notes
*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan, make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.
**Please note: The nutritional information provided for each recipe is an estimate and may vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.

- Not Vegan? Swap the oil for melted butter and use dairy milk instead of plant-based.
- Gluten-free? Swap for 1:1 gluten-free flour replacement for both the muffins and the crumble top, and you're all set!
- No Apples? These carrot muffins would also work well with raisins or chopped walnuts.
