Servings: persons

2 whole Eggs
2/3 cups Almond Milk
1/2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 cups Turbinado Sugar
1 Tablespoon Nut Butter
2-1/2 cups Almond Flour
1/3 cups Oat Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Plus Extra For Topping
1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Cloves
1 cup Shredded Carrots
1/3 cups Crushed Walnuts, Plus Extra For Topping
1/3 cups Raisins
FOR THE COCONUT CREAM FROSTING:
1 can (13 1/2 Oz. Size) Full-fat Coconut Milk, Chilled At Least 8 Hours
2 Tablespoons Honey Or Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and grease a muffin tin with butter or oil. Place a large mixing bowl in the freezer for the coconut cream frosting.
2
In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and nut butter on high until frothy. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, stir dry ingredients: flours, baking soda, salt, spices, carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Slowly pour wet into dry and stir until combined.
4
Portion batter into muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 to the top. Bake for 17-18 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool before taking them out of the muffin tin.
5
Make the coconut cream frosting by scooping the thick coconut cream off the top of the can, leaving the water at the bottom and saving for another use, if you wish. Place cream in a chilled large mixing bowl along with honey and vanilla and beat on high until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Frost each muffin with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the coconut cream frosting and use a rounded knife or spoon to create the elegant swirls. Top each with a crushed walnut and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
7
Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. I haven't tried freezing them, but if you do, I would recommend leaving the frosting off until you are ready to eat. Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
