There is nothing quite like a muffin. Except, that is, an MSPI friendly muffin! The hardest part of being dairy and soy free, other than giving up cheese, has been being limited in options for store-bought baked goods. But no worries, I’ve been working on it! After trying many recipes, this muffin recipe has emerged as our family favorite: it’s tasty, filling and uses ingredients I always have on hand. Nothing quite like a simple muffin recipe to start your day!
MSPI Friendly Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots, shredded (1-1.5 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg*
- 1 cup applesauce, or other fruit purée**
Method:
1) In large bowl shred carrots.
2) Add dry ingredients, then wet, and mix together.
3) Spoon into muffin liners.
4) Bake at 350 F approximately 25 minutes
Notes
*To make egg-free, add an extra teaspoon of baking soda, and finish off with a tablespoon of vinegar.
**I usually use unsweetened applesauce, but have also made these using pumpkin, strawberry/banana and apple/berries purées. Essentially any sweet puree or baby food you have on hand should work.
