    These muffins are sunshine for the dreary mornings. Golden bites filled with chia, coconut, carrots and turmeric. The fresh sweet carrots when blended release their sweet juices and along with some maple syrup are enough sweetness for the muffin. Turmeric intensifies the color and adds its benefits in these easy muffins. Add cinnamon cashew frosting from my Carrot Cake Loaf to make decadent dessert or carrot cupcakes. 

    These carrot muffins can be made with fresh turmeric root or powdered turmeric. Turmeric and fresh ginger root add a burst of flavor. Coconut rounds up the flavor for a caramelized carrot ginger turmeric profile. Add nuts or dried fruit of choice. You can bake it into a loaf or make these gluten-free. See notes on the Recipe below.

    Turmeric is a peculiar flavor with a slight bitter after profile which at times might need to be acquired. If you are not sure about the flavor, start with just a good pinch of turmeric to try.

    Ingredients

    Dry:

    • 1 1/2 cup (187.5 g) flour (I use 1 cup Spelt/whole wheat + 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour) see gluten-free option in the notes
    • 2 to 3 tbsp chia seeds
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) baking soda
    • 1 tsp spice such as a combination of cardamom cinnamon nutmeg to preference
    • 3 to 4 tbsp chopped dates currants, raisins or other dried fruit

    Wet:

    • 1 cup (128 g) chopped carrots (heaped) or 1 packed up grated
    • 1/3 cup (107.33 g) maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup (20 g) shredded coconut
    • 1 tbsp oil optional
    • 1/2 to 1 tsp turmeric or use 1/2 inch knob or peeled fresh turmeric
    • 1/2 in (0.5 in) peeled fresh ginger
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar for sweeter optional
    • 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
    • 1/2 cup (183 ml) + 1/4 cup non dairy milk such as almond light coconut or soy
    • chia seeds and coconut for topping

    Instructions

    • In a bowl mix the dry ingredients. Fold in dates, currants or other dried fruit. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F / 180ºc. Line a muffin pan and set aside.
    • In a blender combine all wet ingredients carrots through lemon juice, with 1/2 cup non dairy milk. Blend until carrots are blended but have some texture. Transfer to the dry ingredient bowl. Use 1/4 cup non dairy milk to rinse the blender out and add to the bowl. (Alternatively, mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl until sugar is combined. You will need grated carrots if not using a blender. Add 3 tbsp applesauce with the wet for additional moisture to compensate for the moisture that releases on blending the carrots)
    • Mix the wet and dry until just about combined. If too runny, add a few tbsp more flour. Drop the batter into muffin pan. Garnish with chia seeds and coconut.
    • Bake for 25 to 28 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve. Cool completely before storing(on the counter for the day, in the refrigerator for upto 5 days).

    Notes

    To make these gluten-free: mix ⅔ cup almond flour/meal, ⅔ cup certified gf oat flour or use other gluten-free flours like sorghum or rice flour, ¼ cup starch (I use 2 tbsp tapioca starch and 2 tbsp potato starch). 3 Tbsp coconut flour, ½ tsp xanthan gum in a bowl and use 1 2/3 cup of the flour. Add a few tbsps more flour if needed to make a thick muffin like batter.
    If you plan to store these longer or want them more moist, add 2 to 3 tbsp oil.
    Bake it into a loaf: Add the batter to a 9 by 5 or smaller loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick from the center comes out clean.

      Perfect recipe, Richa. I doubled the amount to make 1 bread but put in only 4 tablespoons of sugar and no maple. My milk was leftover coconut cream which I diluted with water plus added more water to compensate for the lack of maple. I used both raisins and dates, and fresh turmeric. This is perfect: so delicious and filling, fresh and with perfect texture. With good raw tahini and pb with orange preserves on top this is a superb breakfast. Thanks.

      I made these this morning! They came out fantastic! I did not blend my carrots as finely, but the muffins still turned out with an excellent texture. Next time I will add more salt, probably use a full 1/2 tsp, because even without the added sugar in the wet mix I found these needed some salty butter to balance out the sweetness.

        awesome! yes the flours( type, measuring errors as the flours can be packed differently) can need more or less moisture, so you can add in a tbsp of non dairy milk at a time while mixing if it feels stiff.

      Hello! I’m a bit confused by the gf instructions. Are you saying half almond and half oat flour would work? Or you need to add the starch to that as well?

      I have actually made these before using flour and they are delicious, just trying to mix it up with different ingredients 🙂

      Thanks!

        no, mix the flours listed. so almond, oat, starch, this if the gf blend. Now add this blend instead of wheat based flours. you can use other flours instead of oat in the mix.

      Oh my word – how delicious are these (its Monday breakfast in the office after a wet bike ride to work in rainy London) – are these in the Everyday book at all? Otherwise I will print this out and most definitely make them again. I found them sweet enough with no extra sugar other than the maple syrup, as the juicy raisins I added had sweetness, I also added 1 tbsp of rapeseed oil for moisture as I keep these for 5 days in the fridge. I take 2 to work every weekday.

      Would this recipe work with a combination of almond meal & coconut meal?

        just almond meal and coconut meal for the dry might not work as both are glutenfree and you would need to add some binding. Try this instead . you can use carrot and banana puree instead of all banana https://www.veganricha.com/2018/01/gluten-free-banana-bread-flourless-carrot-banana-bread.html

      Hi Richa,
      Can we skip all purpose flour and use only whole wheat flour? If not can we sub all purpose flour with ragi flour ? Also, the shredded coconut used is the dry shredded coconut right?

      Reply
      • Richa

        February 07, 2018 at 10:40 am

        Yes, you can. Use all Spelt flour if you can, as whole wheat can get dense. Ragi will make the muffin more dense as it is a gluten-free flour and it will also add color. If you regularly make whole grain muffins (no ap flour), then ragi + wheat should work for you. If you dont, then there is a texture and flavor adjustment curve when going from regular baked goods to all whole grain as they tend to be denser and have stronger flavors from the flour and might ened additional spices to help mask that. Use ragi with a combination with wheat and all purpose flour in that case.

      Delicious. I used a food processor to grate carrots and blend wet ingredients with added applesauce so cut back to 1/4 cup of maple syrup, not a fan of sweet. Very cake like which worked well with a crumb topping.

      For those of you panicking if you don’t have lemon juice: I used 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and it turned out PERFECTLY! I subbed date syrup for the optional additional sugar and I didn’t have raisins so I added chopped pistachios and candied ginger to the batter. These are so delish – not too sweet, flavorful and healthy! 🙂

        It will not work. Oat is gluten-free and needs binding in other forms. You can use half oat flour and half wheat flour.

      Delicious ???? I just made them this evening. I love it. I didn’t add any sugar. I used coconut nectar instead of maple syrup because it was what I have at home. I did add 3 tbsp of grapeseed oil for moisture. I will bake again next week for my meals prep. By the way, I noticed my muffin tend to stick on the muffin liner. Is that normal when I use spelt flour?

        I think its the liner. old liners stick to the muffin a lot. They should release after an hour or so after some moisture from the muffin loosens them. You can spray some oil on the liner before using.

      Delicious – super soft and tasty! Only used half of the maple syrup you suggested and a small spoon of the sugar and the sweetness was perfect for me and they look beautiful. Not that I will be looking at them for too long.

        Dont know. You can use myfitnesspal or cronometer to calculate using ingredients. I will add the values later this year.

      Richa – once again awesome!!

      I just made these tonight – I have those wonderful flexipan muffin molds – which require no papers or oil. And clean up is easy.

      These tasted wonderful and I had just bought a bunch (ha – ha) of carrots at the Farmers Market – so it was a perfect treat this evening. Once again, you rock!
      Thanks–Linda

      Hi Richa, can you please specify gluten free instructions again. I have almond meal flour and quinoa flour or rice flour. Do i also need xanthan gum, coconut flour and potato and tapioca starch?
      I am vegan and allergic to gluten and wheat. This recipe is da bomb!! I would love to make it for me and my family!

        Yes, use ⅔ cup almond flour/meal, ⅔ cup rice or quinoa or a mix, ¼ cup starch. 3 Tbsp coconut flour, ½ tsp xanthan gum. The starches helps bind and add lightness to the flour and coconut flour adds volume and absorption. Almond and oat/rice flours are heavy flours, so they do need some starches. You can omit the coconut flour and add more rice flour, but definitely use some starch(combination of two of tapioca, corn, potato, arrowroot).

      Can you recommend a substitute for the almond meal as I’m allergic to almonds as well as gluten?

        a different nut meal (cashew, walnut, pecan, macadamia, brazilnut) or pumpkin seed meal might work.

          Hey! Thanks for the recipe I made it lastnight..they were pretty good. I was wondering if you could give me some advice as to why mine stuck to the paper muffin holders that they were cooked in and how to help avoid that!?
          thanks so much

            Its the paper holder. They get old and become non stick and stick very easily to muffins that have low oil. Let the muffins sit in them for a few hours and they will be easier to remove. Spray oil on the holder before adding batter as that helps. or get new ones
