Once I decided to run another Half Marathon, I knew I had to get serious about nutrition. After all, as much I as say I’m 29 years old. And, as good as I feel, the truth is I’m a few years older. At 29, I could eat and drink what I wanted and it didn’t have a huge effect on my training. It (ahem) nutrition is key to get the race time I want.

These Healthy Pre-race Muffins Recipe are loaded with vitamins and nutrients. They’re delicious too! Do you know a little secret? They taste like carrot cake! Well, carrot cake without the frosting. But, they are wonderful!

HEALTHY MUFFINS RECIPES TIPS

  1. If you prefer you can use two cups of almond meal for the all-purpose flour.
  2. You can add 1/2 cup of walnuts or almonds.
  3. Dates, raisins, dried cranberries, or dark chocolate chips can be used.
  4. Furthermore, I had roasted carrots leftover from dinner that I used. I pulsed those in a mini-food processor and used them in this recipe. You can use finely grated raw carrots.
  5. As well, I used 1/2 cup agave syrup. You can substitute maple syrup or honey.
  6. Amp up the protein by adding one tablespoon unflavored protein powder to the muffins.
  7. Finally, I used 3 tablespoons of butter (salted) and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. You can use all butter or all coconut oil. Using salted butter is a personal preference, you can use salted or unsalted.
