Mini Carrot Cake Muffins

I have a serious soft spot for carrot cake! There is something so different, so good about it. Maybe the spices? Or the delicious cream cheese frosting on top? Either way, count me in! This recipe comes together in one bowl, is dairy free, and only uses a pinch coconut sugar! In other words, the ingredients are pretty good for you, meaning you can sneak in a couple extra without feeling bad afterwards.
