Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins

Jump to Recipe || Print Recipe

Very healthy and tasty gluten-free carrot cake muffins made with nutritious buckwheat flour and topped with light cream cheese frosting.

These gluten-free muffins are eggless, butterless and seriously addictive and amazingly delicious. They are very light and taste so nice with the cream cheese frosting. My all muffins were gone within the next hour of prepping and I have been asked to make them again real soon.

I used milk and yoghurt as wet ingredients in the muffins but if you are looking for vegan options then simply replace it with non-dairy milk.

My girls went crazy for these muffins and won’t let me take the pictures. As you can see them hovering in the pictures, they were eagerly waiting for me to take pics so can finish soon.

Here are some more muffin recipe to try:

  1. Absolutely loved the recipe. So glad to know that it’s kids tested. I have always wondered how Buckwheat would taste in bakes. Good to have a tested recipe!
