Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Grated carrot
- 1 cup Grated apple
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, raisins, walnuts, and, if using, shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these wholesome and delicious gluten-free morning glory muffins warm or at room temperature.
