Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour * see note
  • cup coconut flour * see note
  • cup arrowroot starch
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large carrots shredded
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup chopped nuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a small bowl, add all wet ingredients and shredded carrots. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Pour in wet ingredients and mix very gently. Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.
  • Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and fill each one 3/4 with the batter.
  • Bake 25 minutes, or until done. Insert a toothpick into a muffin. If the toothpick comes back clean, the muffins are done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, they will need to bake longer.
  • Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your muffins grainy.
  2. Coconut flour needs a lot of moisture. Way more than any other gluten free flour.
  3. If you want your muffins to have a domed style top, bake at 425º F for the first 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350.
  4. These muffins will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
