To make the Coconut Carrot Cake Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Spread ½ cup shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast until golden. Check the coconut every 3 minutes until it tastes and smells like toasted coconut. Be careful not to burn it. Once toasted, remove from the oven and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole-wheat flour, ¼ cup cane sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg and set aside.
Melt ¼ cup coconut oil in the microwave or over the stovetop, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup coconut milk, ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup applesauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together and add the melted coconut oil.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir in ½ cup shredded carrots and toasted coconut.
Line a muffin pan with paper liners and divide the batter between them.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Whisk together 2 tablespoon coconut milk and ½ cup powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar to make a thicker glaze if you wish.
Drizzle the glaze over each muffin and sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
