These muffins are awesome! They are slightly sweet for a nice breakfast treat. Or they can easily be made sweeter by subbing more maple syrup in place of water and adding in more raisins. These muffins have a lovely texture, hold together perfectly, and have a slight chewiness reminiscent of the gluten-ful treats we avoid but would like to enjoy again.

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line mini muffin pan with parchment cups or grease tin with oil. (muffins will stick a little if not in liners, but a little giggling around the edges with a fork will release them easily enough).

2

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl (including gelatin).

3

Stir all wet ingredients into dry ingredients, (add apple cider vinegar last) mix thoroughly.

4

Fold in shredded carrots and raisins

5

Fill muffin tin/liner to the top with batter. The muffins will rise just a little.

6

Bake for 25 minutes for mini-muffins (or 35 minutes for large muffins or loafs) or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Note: This recipe's nutrition facts are for the mini-muffins, but you can make regular size muffins too. Just fill 3/4 full and you'll get 8-9 muffins with the caloric content of ~3 mini-muffins.
