Ingredients

Notes
- Heavily spray muffin pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Use light olive oil, not extra virgin. The oil should be mild tasting.
- If you don't have molasses, replace the 2 tablespoons molasses with 2 more tablespoons of maple syrup.
- After grating carrots, squeeze out all excess moisture.
- Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
