Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Place 12 muffin liners into a muffin tin and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour (use a sifter if you have one), cocoa/cacao powder, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  4. Mix together wet ingredients in a medium size bowl: eggs, coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until just moistened.
  6. Fold in shredded carrots and chocolate chips.
  7. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out 12 muffins.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut sugar for ½ cup maple syrup – just mix in with the wet ingredients instead
  • If dough seems too dry, add a splash more almond milk to the mixture
