Carrot Cake Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients:
1 large Carrot, washed and pealed
1 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (be sure to use certified gluten-free if making gluten-free)
1 RIPE Banana
1/2 cup pure Maple Syrup
2 Eggs
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp pie or cake spice blend (gloves, cinnamon, ginger, etc) optional
1 tsp aluminum free Baking Powder
Preheat oven to 350(f). Grease a muffin tin (I use coconut oil). Using a hand grater or a grate attachment on a food processor shred the carrot. Using a food processor pulse the shredded carrot and oats for about 30 seconds. Add the banana and maple syrup and pulse for another 30 seconds. Add the eggs and spices and blend for about 15-20 seconds. Lastly add the baking powder and blend for about 20-30 seconds (make sure to add last, once the reaction between the baking powder and the wet mixture happens it need to get in the oven pretty quickly). Fill muffin cups about 1/2 to 2/3 full of the batter. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden and set. Allow to cool. Makes 12.
