Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 cup Tigernut flour
1/4 cup Tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour)
2 tbsp Coconut flour
1 cup Carrots (finely shredded)
2 tbsp Raisins, seedless (sultana) (any raisins or sub in dried cranberries)
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup Maple syrup
1/3 cup Coconut oil
2 large Egg (see notes for gelatin egg)
1/2 cup Water
2 tbsp Gelatin dry mix, unprepared

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 375oF and line a 12-cup muffin tin with 8-9 muffin liners. 

  2. Combine the tigernut flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, shredded carrots, raisins, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix well. 

  3. Stir in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. 

  4. Mix in the eggs (or gelatin eggs) and stir well until a dough forms. 

  5. Spoon the muffin dough into the muffin tins (you will have about 8-9 muffins). 

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until baked through and the tops are golden brown. 

  7. Carefully transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before enjoying them. Cooling in the fridge also helps the muffins set further. 

Notes:

To make 1 gelatin egg:
  • Warm up 3 tbsp of water in the microwave or the stovetop so it's warm to the touch. Add 1 tbsp gelatin to a bowl, slowly add in the water. Start whisking right away with either a fork or a mini whisk until the collagen is dissolved. Let the egg sit for 2 minutes allowing it to set prior to using.
