"Clean the Pantry" Sweet Potato Carrot Muffins

"Clean the Pantry" Sweet Potato Carrot Muffins by Sarah Xiong

This isn't entirely gluten free because of the wheat germ and bran but you can omit it. The batter seems thick but the muffin bakes up very moist and sweet. Feel free to sub or omit ingredients in this long ingredient list. Although it is necessary to use honey to react with the leavening agents, otherwise the muffin will have a bitter after taste.
