Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard-sized muffin tin with 12 paper cups. Set aside.
In a large bowl add almond flour, oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a small bowl add the eggs, coconut milk, melted butter and maple syrup. Whisk to combine.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, using a spatula to combine. Fold in the carrots, banana, pecans, and coconut or chocolate chips. (Note: Batter will be thick).
Fill the cavities of the muffin tin until full. Sprinkle the tops with flaked coconut (if desired).
Place the muffin tin in the oven on the center rack and bake for 20-25 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through baking), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from the tin and placing them onto a baking rack to cool an additional 5 minutes before serving.
