Carrot Raisin Breakfast Mini-Muffins

This is reblog of an older post. I chose to revive this for Mother’s Day because food always remind’s me of my Mom who was a great cook and passed along her skills and recipes to me. Whenever Spring rolls around I think of inviting a few friends over for brunch, which Mom did every year. This is a recipe we discussed one year when she asked me for ideas.

Have a Happy Mother’s Day on Sunday and if she is still living, call your Mom!
