Introduction

Very good! I couldn't find coconut flour in the data base so I had to pick rice flour. But the recipe says use coconut flour 1/4 cup plus one tablespoon. Very good!

Ingredients

    4 medjool dates, pited
    1/4 cup coconut oil
    1/4 cup coconut milk
    3 egg whites
    1 whole egg
    1 cup shredded carrots about 1 large carrot;grate using a grater or food processor

    1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
    1 tsp vanilla extract

Tips

These are very moist. I didn't drain the apples or carrots but next time I will.


Directions

preheat oven to 350
place dates in food processor and pulse to chop them up and create a paste. Or you can chop them into small pieces.
Drain excess moisture from the apples and carrots and then add the dates, coconut oil, coconut milk, eggs, carrots, apples, vanilla and maple syrup to a mixing bown and blend well. I used a mixer but you can mix by hand as well.
In a separate bowl, wisk together all the dry ingredients.
Add the dry mix into the wet mix and blend well.
Line muffin tins with liners and fill each muffin liner almost to the top with batter, These mufins don't rise much.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle coumes out clean.
Cool and store covered for a few days at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a week.

Serving Size: Makes 8-10 medium or 12 small muffins. I used a small muffin pan for the calorie counter
