When thinking of what to pair with my delicious gingerbread mix baked into muffins, the refreshing flavor of a carrot didn't come to mind initially. It took seeing a leftover bowl of shredded carrots from an earlier salad I'd made next to the plate of cooling muffins for the idea to hit me- and hit me I'm glad it did because this combination of spicy gingerbread, sweet vanilla icing and cool, shredded carrot is absolutely delightful. This Gingerbread Carrot Muffin recipe isn't one you want to miss!
