Carrot Plantain Muffins AIP Vegan Paleo Egg-Free

If you are accustomed to eating bread-y, baked things then this nutritious muffin recipe will help get you through the elimination diet process. Muffins made with plantains are quite filling and energizing—unripe plantains contain easily digested complex carbohydrates that actually feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut! Feel free to change up the ingredients here. Add in different spices such as ginger, nutmeg, cloves, or use different vegetables in place of the carrots such as grated parsnip, beets, or zucchini.

Ingredients
2 pounds yellowish-green plantains peeled and chopped
¼ cups coconut oil (at room temp)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
6 tablespoons arrowroot powder
¼ cups coconut flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar
1 cups grated carrots

These are pretty good! I brought them with for a two night stay away from home and it helped me feel like I was eating “normal” food during breakfast with my extended family.
