Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 2 tsp cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 3 cups almond flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup sugar-free sweetener*
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 large carrot grated (about 1 cup)
- ½ cup raw pecans or walnuts chopped
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup sugar-free powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 Tbsp lemon juice OR water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 12-hole muffin tray with muffin liners.
- Whisk together the full-fat canned coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
- Add the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, sugar-free sweetener, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and sea salt (dry ingredients) to the mixing bowl and stir well until a thick dough forms.
- Stir the grated carrot and chopped nuts into the batter until everything is well-combined.
- Transfer the muffin batter to the prepared muffin pan, filling the muffin papers all the way up.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the muffins test clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before glazing them and serving. If you're making the optional glaze, simply stir the sugar-free powdered sugar and lemon juice (or water) together in a mixing bowl until it's creamy.
- Drizzle the glaze over the muffins.
- Serve the muffins and enjoy!
Notes
- *If you don't follow a sugar-free diet, you can substitute maple sugar or regular cane sugar for the sugar-free sweetener.
- Store any leftover carrot cake muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also transfer the muffins to a zip lock bag and freeze them for up to 3 months.
