Quick and healthy is always my aim when making snacks and meals for my family! I love to bake but time is always limited in the kitchen.
I made these Carrot Muffins for the boys this morning during Fraser's nap and decided that since he loved the Banana Bread Bars with Healthy Honey Frosting SO much that I should add a big of "icing" to the tops of these too!
I ended up using cream cheese and coconut in my icing this time and sweetened it with honey. YUM!!
