These yummy muffins are gluten free, egg free, nut free and dairy free. My really allergic son loves them and I love that he gets some carrots in his diet.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 ½ cups rice flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dry egg replacer (such as ener-g®)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix raisins and orange juice together in a small bowl.
  3. Combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and xanthan gum in a large bowl.
  4. Mix carrots, oil, water, and dry egg replacer together in a separate bowl. Fold in raisin mixture.
  5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour in carrot mixture. Mix until batter is moistened. Spoon batter into the prepared tin, filling each cup 3/4 full.
