  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>These lightly sweetened, <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/carrot-muffins-with-coconut-flour/">gluten free carrot muffins</a> are made with high fiber coconut flour. They make a great addition to any brunch menu, though especially one for a healthy Mother&#8217;s Day breakfast or brunch.</p>


	<p>Don&#8217;t let all that healthy stuff scare you off though, they&#8217;re mighty tasty.  And with yacon sweetening them, they&#8217;re not too sweet.  If you want to replace the yacon with agave your muffin will be just a bit sweeter.  I tried making them both ways and preferred the yacon version.</p>]]>
