  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>These gluten-free carrot cake muffins are wholesome and nutritious. They are a good substitute when you are hungry for something freshly baked and smothered in butter.  Or top them with my cream cheese frosting (as seen in the picture).</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Using a mixer, combine eggs, erythriol, stevia, butter, salt, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla.</li>
		<li>Slowly add sifted coconut flour and baking soda.</li>
		<li>Pulse raisins and walnuts in food processor until coarsely ground.  Fold in carrots, raisins, and walnuts into mixture.  Pour into muffin tin.</li>
		<li>Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Makes 6 muffins.</li>
		<li>Note: I recommend using muffin liners since these are notorious for sticking to the bottom no matter how much you oil and flour them.</li>
