Gluten Free Carrot Pineapple Coconut Muffins

I needed some new options. I am so tired of chocolate muffins for my kids. They just don't seem as nutritious as other muffins. I decided it was time to make a new recipe. Hopefully the kids will love this as much as I did. I snagged one right out of the oven. They are so delicious. A hint of cinnamon, pineapple and carrot.

Gluten Free Carrot Pineapple Coconut Muffins

2 Cups GF Flour Mixture (I used 1 cup Better Batter and 1 Cup GF Pantry Beth's Flour Mix)

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1 tsp Baking Powder

2 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp xanthan gum

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 1/2 C Oil (I used 1 cup Coconut oil and 1/2 cup Coconut Ghee)

1 tsp vanilla extract

6 oz crushed pineapple

2 cups shredded carrots

Mix together flour, shredded coconut, sugar, xanthan gum, cinnamon, salt, baking powder & baking soda.

Mix together eggs, oil & vanilla. When combined, add crushed pineapple.

Add pineapple mixture to dry ingredients, then add carrots.

Pour into greased muffin tins or line with paper wrappers. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 mins or until the toothpick comes out clean.
