Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar*
- 2 cups finely ground almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger**
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 large carrot grated (about 1 cup of shredded carrot)
- 1 large Fuji apple peeled and grated
Instructions
- Grate the carrot and the apple using a box grater. You will need one cup of each.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tray with 7 muffin papers (Note: this recipe makes a partial batch of muffins but you can double the recipe for more muffins).
- Whisk together the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup and cider vinegar in a large mixing bowl until the wet ingredients are well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt (dry ingredients).
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in the grated carrots and grated apple until the muffin batter is well-combined.
- Transfer the muffin batter to the prepared muffin tin, filling the muffin cups up ⅔ of the way.
- Bake muffins on the center rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they test clean. Mine take 22 minutes. Muffins are fully cooked once they reach an internal temperature of 190-200 degrees F. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of a muffin to verify they are fully baked. Or, you can also insert a toothpick or butter knife into a muffin to be sure it tests clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool to room temperature before peeling off the muffin papers and enjoying.
Notes
