Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350F and soak the dates in warm water for 30 minutes
Grate the carrots in a large mixing bowl
Peel, core and chop the apple into very small cubes. Add to the carrots
Combine the almond flour, desiccated coconut, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the carrots and apple and mix with your hands, lightly squeezing the carrots and apple pieces between your hands to release some moisture, until the ingredients start holding together
In a blender or using a hand mixer, blend the maple syrup, vanilla, soaked dates (soaking water discarded), coconut oil and eggs (make sure they are room temperature otherwise coconut oil will harden). Add to the rest of the ingredients and stir with a spatula until batter is fully combined. Finally, stir in the raisins and walnuts
Divide the batter evenly into individual muffin silicone molds (or a greased muffin tin) and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

Baking times often vary depending on your oven, so check that they are done by inserting the tip of a knife in the center and seeing if it comes out clean
