Carrot and Chocolate Chip Muffins, a Little Baker, and a Children’s Book!

Jump to recipe

I was over the moon, when my 9 year old wanted to make my carrot chocolate chip muffins for a school presentation.ย  Not only am I super excited she is getting interested in baking (yay!), but that she wanted to make one of my recipes and tell all her friends about it.ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย  She did a great job, and her and my son ate so many, she had to make another batch.ย  This was a great way to end an awesome week which started with Halloween fun.ย  My son sported a Batman costume, and my daughter was Poison Ivy.

Also, I have been reading a new children’s picture book to my kids that they adore.ย  The illustrations are incredibly beautiful and the story is unique, interesting, and has continued to keep my kids’ interest.ย  The book is Grumpy Ana and the Grouchy Monsters and it is written by a good blogger friend of mine, Diana Wallace Peach.ย  Check it out on Amazon if you are looking for a cool and beautiful book to read to your little ones.

I am super excited to bring my muffins to Fiesta Friday, and to be co-hosting this week with the lovely Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook!ย  Happy Fiesta Friday!

    Oh, you are so sweet, Antonia, to give the book a mention. I’m delighted that your children are enjoying it. ๐Ÿ˜€ Yay! I love the Halloween photo and the poses – such characters (in and out of costume). And thanks for the recipe – I’m sure it will be a hit at school. I happen to have tons of carrots in my fridge from cleaning out the garden, so your timing is perfect. ๐Ÿ˜€ Happy November!

Right, they are so funny, and I love how my daughter gets into posing, lol! Thank you! I hope you get a chance to try it, they are really good and super moist! Have a great weekend Diana! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Isn’t it just too rewarding when your children catch your baking bug? Mine complain all the time about my food, I have to admit, but when pressed, for example by eating at other people’s houses, they’re pretty happy with what they’ve got. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t swap me for Ronald McD or Mr Nando without batting an eyelid …
    Thank you for co-hosting Fiesta Friday this week, I hope you’ll enjoy it!

    I love the idea of using a vegetable and chocolate in a ‘sweet’ recipe! And I really miss reading books to my children, my youngest is 12 but a very mature 12 so book reading is a thing of the past for us unfortunately:(
