Chef’s notes
Recipe from the Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. cookbook by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky.
Make them nut free:
Whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat flour can be used as an alternative to the almond meal. Increase the butter to 8 tablespoons (1 stick), since wheat flour is much drier, and reduce the oats to 1 cup.
Whole wheat flour option:
See above!
Make them dairy free:
Coconut oil can be used as a substitute for the butter.
Egg substitution note:
Flax eggs can be used in a similar carrot muffin recipe.
