Morning glory muffins

These are pretty tasty but I will add more honey or a little stevia next time for a little more sweetness.

2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups grated carrots
1 large apple, peeled, cored and grated
1 cup shredded coconut
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a standard sized muffin pan (12 cups).
Combine almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add carrot, apple, coconut and combine well. 
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, honey, oil and vanilla extract together.
Pour this mixture over your dry ingredients and mix well. This batter will be very thick. 
Spoon into muffin pan and place on middle or upper rack in oven for 40-50 minutes for large muffins, 20-30 minutes for smaller muffins.
When a toothpick inserted in the top of a muffin comes out clean, they are done.
Cool muffins in pan 8-10 minutes and then remove to a rack to finish cooling.
