These muffins look a little scary, but actually make you look younger! They've become my favorite muffin to make not only because of the benefits… They taste AH-mazing! The beta-carotene in the carrots help slow the aging process. The vitamin A protects skin against sun damage and prevents wrinkles, dry skin, uneven skin tone and acne.  They're fun to make for Halloween with their “scary” appearance, but after you have one you might be making them all the time!
