Notes

  • All gluten-free flour blends have a different makeup. This healthy carrot cake muffin recipe was made with Cloud 9 Flour Other flour blends may alter the texture slightly.
  • The carrot muffins are not overly fluffy but instead, they have a chewy, dense texture.
  • Top the gluten-free muffins with chopped almonds for texture and sprinkled cinnamon if you like.
  • Know that if you're making carrot cake muffins for toddlers, it's best to omit the chopped almonds.
