  2. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, or grease with coconut oil.
  3. Combine the eggs, coconut oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  4. Add in the salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
  5. Sprinkle the coconut flour over the mixture and then whisk into the batter.

    Hi Brenda, those look great! I’m a bit confused about the baking soda, though. Is it GAPS legal? I didn’t think so, but I’m not sure.
    Thanks,
    Paula

    Hi Brenda – I have two questions for you -
    1) What brand of gaps legal vanilla do you get? I buy frontier, but it does have alcohol in it.
    And 2) Where do you get your GAPS legal cranberries. My Holistic Moms group has a savers yahoo group that runs coops and we get ours through the Tierra Farms CoOp because they are sweetened with applejuice. Just wondering if there are other sources out there.
    Thanks for all you do,
    Jenni
    btw – I used your base muffin recipe, doubled it, and substituted 5 very ripe bananas as the flavoring. I also used less honey and less oil and they came out amazing! My son is snack child tomorrow so these kids are getting GAP legal muffins (and I bet they will LOVE them!).

    Made four batches of these today! They were amazing! =) Tim loved how “juicy”/moist they were! I did add some nutmeg to the last two batches and it made me think of pumpkin muffins…we gotta make a recipe w/pumpkin too! =)
    It took 25 min in my oven with stoneware…they were perfect! =)

    These are DELICIOUS!! I made them the other night and they were polished off by our family of three in 2 days! I made them the next day and there are only 2 left! YUM!

  • Bakerfive1

    These are incredible, and esp. if you slightly undercook them, yum!!

  • Nuckelcs

    Not a huge fan, sorry. I felt they were a little lacking in flavor.

  • Anon

    Made these tonight and they were fantastic! Added raisins to just half of them and everyone loved them. Not all of us in the family are on GAPS, and the non-Gappers still thought they were yummy!

  • Cindy

    I made these in a cake pop pan today. They turned out great!! My 3 yr old loved eating the “planets.” I changed baking time to 15 min. for smaller muffins. Thanks.

  • greenmama

    I made these this morning and they were a big hit. My veggie-phobic son wasn’t a fan of the pieces of carrot that he could see, but he still liked the flavor, I might try pureeing the carrot instead of shredding it next time. Both of my other children loved them and even I enjoyed it and I am not usually a fan of carrot cake. Thank you so much for the GAPS baking recipes, they make the diet so much more enjoyable for my little ones!

  • Kristina Torrejon

    these look great! love a good GAPS recipe!

  • Rebekah Wilhelm

    Wow. They were fantastic!

    Instead of coconut oil, I used 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup walnut oil; for the sweetener I combined 1/4 cup agave with 1/4 cup honey. (I also only used 1 tablespoon vanilla, and omitted the craisins.)

    Thanks so much for this delicious recipe. It’s probably the best coconut flour muffin I have ever had! Super moist and flavorful.

  • Mishaal Faheem

    Looks so good!!!!:)

    Great recipe! So delicious =)

  • Kristinfriesen

    These were really good, very moist (perhaps even a little too oily) and not gritty at all like coconut flour can sometimes be. I think next time I will cut the salt and vanilla down a bit, those two flavors were just a touch too strong for my liking. Great recipe though, thanks!

  • Nayajaya79

    Question: could i substitute shredded apples for the carrots? we have sooo many apples! do y have other apple recipes? I love your site! use it all the time! thank u!

  • Cunwin

    My daughter can’t eat eggs or any nuts but walnuts. I’m really struggling with different GAPS friendly lunches. Have you ever tried the coconut flour based recipes using flax eggs?

  • Madge

    Can you skip the baking soda? I though baking soda wasn’t allowed on GAPS?

  • Jnjglick

    My family LOVES this recipe. Our 1 year old quivers whenhe sees. Them coming. :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/sonia.c.shapiro Sonia Caroline Shapiro

    Anybody try this without the honey or the carrots? I really do need to have the honey raw and carrots aren’t okay. Shredded apple?

  • Carol Lovett

    I love carrot muffins!

  • Wendy Bott

    Baking Soda is alkaline, so it should be legal. :)

    Thanks for the recipe! My daughter made these for a friend’s birthday and they were a big hit. She halved the amount of honey and they came out fine for our lowered sweet tooth.
