Carrot Raisin Muffins
For this recipe, I used the carrot and apple pulp leftover from my juicer. If you want to use regular shredded carrot, then you’ll need to decrease the moisture a bit. These are dense and moist…and delicious! These are not gluten-free, but they are wheat-free.
Dry Ingredients:
1/3 C each: quinoa flour, millet flour, spelt flour, and ground oats
1/4 C ground walnuts
1/4 C ground flax
1 1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground ginger
“Wet” Ingredients:
2 C juicer pulp from juicing carrots and apples (or just carrots)
1 small banana, mashed
1/2 C brown sugar
scant 1/3 C unsweetened applesauce (*3 cubes)
1/3 C + 2 T non-dairy milk
1/3 C R.W. Knudsen Vita Juice blend or apple juice (organic)
2 T organic canola oil
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 C raisins
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and bake in muffin liners at 350 degrees for about 23 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.
*Freeze applesauce in ice cube trays so you always have applesauce on hand for baking. Applesauce is used to replace oil in baking.
NOTE: You can make lower fat, gluten-free (GF) Carrot Pineapple Muffins by modifying this recipe as follows.
- Instead of spelt flour, use brown rice flour.
- Instead of ground flax, use garbanzo bean flour (to reduce the fat).
- Instead of 2 C carrot pulp, use 1 C carrot pulp and 2/3 C chopped pineapple (part of a can of pineapple).
- Instead of 1 small banana, use 2.
- Decrease the brown sugar to 1/3 C.
- Omit the apple sauce.
- Decrease the non-dairy milk to 2 T.
- Use pineapple juice for the juice (from the can of pineapple.)
- Decrease the oil to 1 T.
Coffee Cake Muffins
“Wet” Ingredients:
2 mashed bananas
1 C non dairy milk
1 T white vinegar
1/3 C applesauce
1/3 C canola oil
1/2 C evaporated cane juice
Dry Ingredients:
*2 C mixed grain flours (Use 1/3 C of each: quinoa flour, millet flour, spelt flour, garbanzo bean flour, whole wheat pastry flour & ground oats)
2 T ground flax
1/3 C unsweetened coconut shreds
1/3 C ground walnuts
2 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1/2 t sea salt
2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ginger
1 C blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 C raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and then fold in the berries.
*Depending on the moisture level of the berries (i.e. if using thawed frozen berries) and the size of the bananas, add another 1/4 – 1/3 C flour (wheat or oat) if the batter seems too thin.
Bake in muffin liners for about 22 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes about 18.
>>NOTES: To make this recipe gluten-free (GF), reduced fat, and reduced sugar…
- For the 2 C flour, use 1/2 each quinoa flour, millet flour, brown rice flour, and oat flour (GF)
- Instead of the flax, use garbanzo bean flour
- Instead of the walnuts, use rolled oats (GF)
- Reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup
- Reduce the milk and the vinegar by half
- Instead of 1/3 C oil, use about a tablespoon of oil and then the rest more applesauce.
