Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup natural oil
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded carrots shredded at the last minute
  • 1 apple peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped and toasted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Line 16 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.
  • Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar with the oil. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Add the shredded carrots and the cubed apple and mix.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the carrot mixture and mix until well incorporated. Add the walnuts and raisins and mix.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
  • Let cool before removing to a wire rack.

Notes

Storing: Store the muffins covered at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
Carrots: Grate them at the last minute so they don’t release much liquid. If they do release liquid when you’re about to add them, squeeze it before doing it.
