Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Grated carrots
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Non-dairy milk (e.g., almond milk, oat milk)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the grated carrots, maple syrup, applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using optional add-ins like chopped walnuts or raisins, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
