7 Quinoa Carrot Cake Muffins

BONAPPETITLIFE’S 12 DAYS OF FODMAP

7 Quinoa Carrot Cake Muffins
Finally a guilt-free muffin during the holidays. These warm, lightly sweet muffins crumble and melt in your mouth. You can hardly tell they are “healthy.”  The recipe is FODMAP friendly, gluten-free, and made vegan (if with flax eggs)!
ALL YOU NEED:
  • 1/2 cup oat flour/rolled oats blended
  • 1 c cooked quinoa (I used white)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 mashed bananas
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 c maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs (if vegan, substitute with flax eggs)
  • 1 c shredded/finely grated carrot
  • a generous 1/2 c chopped walnuts

TO DO:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line with metal-lined cupcake tins.
  2. Cook quinoa as directed. Allow to cool and absorb excess water.
  3. Blend in a blender: rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and 3 spices.
  4. Mash bananas, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl.
  5. Blend banana mash, quinoa, and oat powder mix until fully mixed (10-20 seconds).
  6. Pour into a bowl and stir in carrots and walnuts.
  7. Use a tablespoon to distribute into cupcake tins. BAKE for 18-20 minutes at 350.

Eat (and try to share)!

 

Cheers and happy holidays from our Happy Tummy Kitchen to yours!
