Instructions

This step-by-step tutorial is here to help you visualize how to make gluten-free carrot cake muffins. Please scroll down to simply print out the instructions!

Step 1

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Step 2

Then line your muffin tin with muffin wrappers and spray with non-stick spray

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add all your wet ingredients and mix until fully combined

Step 4

Afterward, add your dry ingredient to the bowl and mix them till they are fully combined.

Step 5

Next, fold in the raisins.

Step 6

Once the batter is fully combined, scoop ~1/4 cup of batter into each muffin tin

Step 7

To make these muffins into a heart shape, fold a tiny piece of aluminum foil and slide it in to make the top indent of a heart. It should look like the example picture below!

Step 8

Once you have done that for all the muffins, bake them for 25-30 minutes, turning the muffin tin 180 degrees halfway through the baking time. Mine takes closer to 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven once a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 10

At last, let them cool slightly and enjoy!
