Whole Wheat Pumpkin Carrot Cake Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups brown coconut sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 heaping cup of shredded carrots

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your muffin pan with paper muffin cups or grease well to create a non-stick surface. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, spices, and sea salt. Set aside. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 3 eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly drizzle in the melted coconut oil while actively whisking so the warm/hot oil doesn’t cook the eggs. Once thoroughly combined, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula. Finally, fold in the shredded carrots.
3. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the muffin batter evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake for 24-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy warm with salted butter or almond butter for additional protein!
