PIN IT

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining a baking tray or mini muffin tin.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. The base should look smooth and glossy.

Add grated carrots and stir gently—this is where the moisture and natural sweetness come in.
