I love celeriac (celery root to American readers). I know it’s a strange thing to love, but I do. I only discovered it a few years back, but it’s nutty flavour and potato-like texture was an instant win. It helps that my husband and children love it, too. Celeriac mash (on its own, or half-and-half…

First recipe has sugar in it hardly sugar free is it.
Hi Phil, the recipe is clearly marked as “low sugar” since it contains a little (optional) rice syrup or raw honey. If you click through to the recipe, you will see that I state that this adds sugar and is an optional ingredient (making it possible for it to have no added sugar at all), although it comes out as less than 2g (1/2 teaspoon) free sugar per muffin, so it is definitely not high in sugar if you are concerned about that. Please do feel free to try it without the syrup, it is naturally quite sweet and tasty as is! 🙂 This website aims to provide recipes for families that help them stick to the recommended daily intake of free sugars from the World Health Organisation (3 teaspoons max for children, 6 teaspoons max for adults), so it is well within those parameters, and I decided not to title this post “my top 10 sugar free carrot recipes” for precisely the reason you pointed out. Hope that helps!
