Chai Carrot Pear Muffins
(Vegan & Gluten-Free)
from Family Fresh Cooking

I’ve probably mentioned more than a few times that I love anything chai flavored. I drink chai tea on a daily basis, I’ve made just about chai inspired dessert known to man (maybe a little exaggeration there), and I’ll go way out of my way to get the right ingredients to fulfill this need (or obsession) that I have.

When I saw this combination of flavor from Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking I was intrigued. Carrot, pear, and chai isn’t something that I’ve tried before — until now. These muffins turned out brilliantly and are something that everyone in the house (both gluten-free and not) devoured within a few hours of being out of the oven.
