• 1/4 cup of Norbu or Natvia

TOPPING

METHOD

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, almond meal, baking powder and soda, salt) in a bowl.
3. Add the shredded carrot and apple and stir.
4. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add the oil, vanilla and rice malt syrup.
5. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and combine well.
6. Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and fill them almost to the top.
7. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes.

PS. I sprinkled the topping with the batter prior to placing in the oven and the sugars burnt easily, so best to sprinkle afterwards! 🙂
