Flourless Carrot Cake Muffins

Good morning! I made a new muffin recipe for breakfast over the weekend that I couldn’t wait a minute longer to share – Flourless Carrot Cake Muffins. These muffins are packed with carrots, use oat flour and almond flour, and are naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup.

This recipe is similar to the Flourless Carrot Cake Oat Bars I posted last fall, in muffin form. I love all of the flavors of spring, and creating a healthier carrot cake for breakfast is at the top of my list.

This recipe contains no traditional flour, so I started by creating my own oat flour – simply grind one cup of old fashioned oats in a food processor. It only takes seconds to come together. Food & Wine also has great tips on baking with oat flour.

I also used a small amount of almond flour, and the best carrot cake flavors: shredded carrots, coconut, golden raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.

Try one and let me know what you think!
