Vegan carrot and blood orange muffins
Background
These vegan carrot and blood orange muffins are soft and moist, even the next day. They go perfectly with your morning coffee or afternoon tea. You can bake them in an air fryer too, using the “bake” setting at 180C for 20 minutes. When they are cool, you could ice them with an orange glaze or top them with vegan buttercream, cream cheese etc.
