Healthy and delicious vegan carrot muffins that are simple to make. They are moist and flavorful.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
1 cup spelt or any gluten-free flour
I cup gluten-free whole oat flour.
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon powder
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pistachios or walnuts
1 cup grated carrots
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wet ingredients
1 ½ cup cashew or any plant milk
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
¼ cup coconut or avacado oil
3 tablespoon warm water
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to the temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray your muffin cups with oil.
2. In a clean small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and with warm water. Allow to sit for about 3 minutes to make the flax egg.
3. In another large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients – oatmeal flour, gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cardamom powder, shredded coconut, chopped pistachios, and mix well. Finally, add the grated carrots and combine well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients- milk, flax egg, oil, and maple syrup.
5. Add the the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients a little at a time as you mix. Keep adding the wet mixture and whisking them until you get a slightly thick consistency that is not too thick.
6. Fill ⅔ of the butter in your muffin cups. Bake for 18-24 minutes or until ready. To check for their readiness, insert a clean toothpick in the muffin and pull it out; if the toothpick comes out clean, then the muffins are ready.
7. Place the muffins on a cooling rack and serve with milk, tea, or coffee.
