These Carrot Raisin muffins are perfect for a Rosh Hashanah breakfast or snack. They are crispy on top and light and fluffy in the middle and full of warm cinnamon flavor with carrots and sweet raisins. It all started with my toddler.

My extremely picky 3 year old absolutely refuses to eat fruit. I can only get him to eat raisins or applesauce. For some reason, he just doesn’t realize those are fruit. Whenever I make muffins, he asks excitedly what flavor they are. Inevitably, the answer is some sort of fruit. He walks sadly away. So, I finally asked him. “What kind of muffins would YOU enjoy?” His answer was Carrot.
So, I thought about that for a bit. And I came up with these tzimmes-inspired muffins just in time for the High Holidays. And the best part? They aced the toddler test! He was so happy that I made muffins just for him. I love it when I can use food to show my family how much I love them!
