Told ya I wasn't going to stop posting #faileo type recipes! Actually, these are little nutritional power houses, which is great because typically for breakfast, S will have a muffin every day. Or, a nuffin as she calls them. I make them every weekend because they are fast, portable, and delicious, and she can eat them once she gets to daycare/preschool. This particular muffin is really great because it's full of carrots (I am having a rough time getting her to eat veggies these days) but they taste and smell pretty decadent. No, I did not eat one. I'm sticking to my sugar detox guns!
Carrot Cake Breakfast Muffins- Free of sugar, grain, dairy, gluten
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp cinnamon
3-4 tbsp preferred liquid sweetener
1/4 cup oil, like walnut or melted coconut
2 eggs
2 4 oz. containers organic carrot baby food
1 tsp vanilla
handful of raisins- optional
Mix the first 5 ingredients together well, get out any lumps with a fork. In a separate bowl, combine your eggs, oil, vanilla, carrot, and sweetener. Mix well, and add wet to dry. Fold in your raisins, and spoon into lined muffin tin. This made 8 good sized muffins for me. Bake at 350 until the tops have browned nicely. These will be pretty dense little guys. Feel free to replace raisins with chopped nuts, chopped apple, chopped pineapple, or just leave out entirely! These do not have a cakey consistency whatsoever, these are unmistakeably muffinish in texture, so don't be fooled by the name. They just have that familiar, warm, and lovely carrot cake flavor profile. But, feel free to have one for dessert, with some coconut cream frosting! That is, unless you are detoxing along with me! I should probably call this detox what it really is- a sweetener detox, since I don't technically eat sugar anyways- but sugar detox just sounds so much cooler doesn't it?
Regardless, this is a health snack or toddler breakfast you can feel good about. Enjoy!
