Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated carrot
- 1 cup Grated apple, squeezed of excess liquid
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners or grease the cups with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrot, grated apple, shredded coconut, raisins, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Evenly divide the batter 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.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. These muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
