However, I must say that the muffins smelled delicious while baking and I think I would have loved them, but the texture was way too dry. I thought I may have missed a liquid ingredient. The flavor was definitely there though. With that said, I love your website/blog, and the few recipes I have tried, I have absolutely loved!! Looking forward to your third book. Thank you for what you do and keeping it healthy. You are very inspiring.

I’ve made so many and loved them! But this was a definite miss. The dough was too thick; it could have used another flour to go along with the coconut to lighten it up. The muffins are just too dense and heavy. Also, giving us a measurement for the carrots would be helpful (1 cup or whatever) as all carrots are not alike! They smelled lovely while baking though!!

It made only 8 muffins. I tried to whip the cold coconut milk and it never got “stiff peaks” just more like Ali’s picture…a milky frosting. I used all the ingredients suggested–even the cloves but they are still pretty awful. It is a shame to use so many ingredients and time and energy and not have a good product. Any suggestions?

I don’t have a food processor so I left out the dates and used 1/2 cup maple syrup. I had to slightly increase the amount of coconut flour but they still came out great. I made about 8 medium sized muffins. I wanted to let you know in case anyone else was wondering on substitutions. 🙂

I use a type that gels in cold liquid. It works to solidify the icing and it keeps well in the fridge. I also used a bit of lemon juice in the frosting.

Or have you tried aquafaba. It is the juice from a can of chickpeas. I’ve read it can substitute for eggs in cake. Why not try?

The dates add necessary sweetness and a carrot-cake like flavor, so I discourage that!

Teresa, the consistency would be different and the flavor wouldn’t be quite as sweet, I don’t recommend it!

Brittany, I’ve never tried, so I can’t be sure it will work – but give it a try!

About 3 cups spiralized, one large carrot (much larger than the bagged carrots.)

There are no cloves, that was a typo! Recipe is updated.

These look delicious! Can’t wait to try them! Are we using the whole can of coconut milk or just the cream at the top? Thanks!!

Any thoughts on a substitute for the dates, that would be lower carb?
