Delicious, dense, gluten-free muffins made with buckwheat flour. They go very well with your morning coffee or afternoon tea. These freeze well, too.

Ingredients

  • ½ (12 ounce) package carrots, grated

  • 1 ½ cups raw cane sugar

  • 1 ¼ cups buckwheat flour

  • 5 tablespoons blanched almond flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 6 tablespoons chopped raw almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F (179 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  3. Combine buckwheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk together applesauce, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in another bowl. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the carrot-sugar mixture.

  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup and sprinkle with chopped almonds.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops have slightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes Turn off the oven and leave muffins inside without opening the door for 5 minutes.

  6. Remove from the oven and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
