Muffins with Carrot, Oats, and Walnuts as Served at Victoria-On-Sea from Vicki Delany

In the Tea by The Sea series, not only does pastry-chef Lily Roberts work hard in Tea by the Sea, her Cape Cod afternoon tea room, but she also makes the breakfasts at Victoria-on-Sea, her grandmother’s B&B.

Muffins are always popular at the B&B and Lily can easily whip up extra batches when she has time and freeze them until needed.  Sometimes the extra baking comes in handy when the police pay a call.

This recipe is one of the ones included in the latest book in the series, Bubble, Bubble Tea & Trouble.

Walnuts can be omitted if you’re baking for someone who might be allergic.
