Maddy's mini carrot cake muffins

Delicious and quick to make, these can be frozen and then defrosted as needed. If you want to make it gluten free, simply swap the spelt flour for a gluten free flour.

Recipe

1 large carrot

½ cup jam (I use sugar-free raspberry)

Grease a mini muffin tray and preheat oven to 180℃. Grate carrot into a bowl and mix in jam, oil, and water. In another bowl, mix together seeds, egg replacer, flour, baking powder and spices. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Spoon mixture into muffin tin.
