Carrot Cake Muffinsrecipe by Scott Hagnas - Performance Menu - November 2008
Time: 40 minutes
• 5 egg whites
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded green cabbage
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• 1 cup coconut shreds
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1 Tbsp real maple syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cloves
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl. You'll need to use an electric mixer, and expect this to take 8-10 minutes. Once they are white and very fluffy, (see meringue recipe) you can finally rest.In a separate bowl, combine the almond meal, tapioca, coconut shreds, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well. Add this flour mixture into the egg whites, mixing as you go. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Grease a mini muffin baking sheet with a bit of coconut oil. Add a dollop of the batter to each muffin, then bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until done. Larger muffins will require a longer baking time.Zone info: Variable based on the size and number of muffins you make!
