Grain-less Carrot Cake Muffins
Another awesome recipe from my grainless girlie Lindsey Crouch at Guiltless Superfoods in Austin Texas! Gluten/wheat free, grainless, Paleo = YUMMY for the tummy!!! Although I have not had wheat on purpose in over 8 years, in the last few years it’s become obvious that my body just doesn’t process any type of grain too well including rice and especially corn. Of course, it has been another challenge but I cannot argue with my body when it is screaming at me to stop eating certain foods! I started eating Lindsey and Daniel Crouch’s grainless superfoods over a year ago and have fallen in love with their foodies and so has my body! I use their bread mostly now instead of any other bread and they now have their guiltless flour blend to make all sorts of goodies like these grainless Carrot Cake muffins which are on my bucket list!
