INSTRUCTIONS:
For Jessie’s Cowgirl Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Kids can help whisk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, honey, oil, eggs, almond extract, 1 1/2 cups grated carrots, orange zest, and walnuts, if desired, and mis until evenly combined. Fold in the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
- Spoon the batter into ten prepared muffin cups all the way to the top. Have children top each muffin with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated carrots.
- Bake for 25 to 2 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown on the edges just barely spring back to the touch. Be careful to not over bake. Let cool.
For Jessie’s Cowgirl Hats:
- Meanwhile, add the beet juice and apple slices to a medium bowl to let stain, about 5 minutes.
- Once the apple slices are bright red, place them on a cutting board, pat dry with a paper towel and then make tiny cuts along the rim of each apple slice. Insert an almond sliver into each slit to resemble the edging on Jessie’s hat.
- Dip the raspberries in a small amount of peanut butter and place onto the center of each hat, peanut butter side down. Kids can do this part.
To serve:
Have kids top each muffin with a cowgirl apple hat and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
