Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all purpose gluten free flour blend ((I used Better Batter; click through for details))
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups fresh carrots (peeled and grated)
6 ounces raisins ( or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
9 tablespoons virgin coconut oil (at warm room temperature (See Recipe Notes0)
4 eggs (at room temperature, beaten)
3/4 cup buttermilk ( at room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (for sprinkling (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease the wells of a standard 12-cup muffin tin and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, place the all purpose flour, xanthan gum, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and whisk to combine well.
  • Add the grated carrots and mix to combine, breaking up any clumps. Add the raisins or chocolate chips, and toss to coat. (See Recipe Notes)
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the coconut oil, beaten eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla, and mix to combine. The batter will be thick but soft.
  • Fill the prepared wells of the muffin tins about completely full with batter. With wet fingers, smooth the tops of the batter in the wells.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the batter in the muffin wells evenly with the optional brown sugar.
  • Place the tin in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed gently (18 to 20 minutes).
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven and place on a wire rack. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
