Quest 76: Maple Carrot Cake Muffins


In all the recipes that we have done, we have not considered Epona or anything even remotely associated with her. Now Epona is a good horse and deserves some recognition for all the times she has hauled me around Hyrule field on some side quest to find a - oooh piece of candy. So in honor of our friend Epona, we are making a carrot recipe - and don't worry it won't be the last. This is one of my favorite recipes and it's pretty easy too. With a little GF baking know-how, there is not much difference if you want to make this GF or regular flour. Enjoy!

Gear!
3 cups shredded carrots
2 cups GF AP Flour - with xanthium gum
1 cup sugar
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup maple syrup

Frosting
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 t vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup
Chopped walnuts - optional

Quest!

In your mixing bowl, add together carrots, sugar, cinnamon, eggs, vegetable oil, and maple syrup. Mix together
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together until smooth. Let sit for at least 10 minutes so the dough is not grainy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prep a muffin tin with non stick spray and cupcake liners. Scoop batter into muffin tin.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Let's make frosting! In a bowl, add cream cheese, butter, vanilla and maple syrup. Beat together until fully combined.
With an offset spatula, frost the muffins anyway you like. You can get fancy and use a cake decorating tip as well, but today I went for quick and easy.









Enjoy! I hope you like this recipe.
