[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

HOW TO MAKE CRANBERRY-CARROT MUFFINS:

* This recipe makes 18 regular muffins or 40-48 mini muffins, depending on the size of the mini muffin tin.

Tools you’ll need: muffin tins / muffin tin liners / 2 large bowls / knife / grater / juicer / whisk / spatula or spoon / wooden toothpick / wire cooling rack

Ingredients:

1 cup sorghum flour
¾ cup garbanzo/chickpea flour (or you can use “garfava” flour, which is a blend of garbanzo and fava beans)
½ cup flaxseed meal
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup warm water
½ cup sunflower oil
1 cup packed finely grated carrots
1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit) + an extra handful to sprinkle on top if you’d like the muffins to look extra tasty!
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 medium orange, for the juice and zest (or use 1 tablespoon orange juice)

Instructions:

1. Start off by lining or greasing your muffin tins. Preheat your oven to 350F.
2. Whisk the first section of ingredients (sorghum flour through nutmeg) in a large bowl.
3. Zest and juice the orange into a large separate bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients.
4. Pour the flour mixture in a bit at a time and stir until just combined.
5. Scoop ¼ cup batter into each muffin cup if you’re making regular muffins. If you’re making mini muffins scoop 1-2 tablespoons into each muffin cup, depending on the size of the tin. I used a very mini muffin tin so only needed 1 tablespoon per cup. Sprinkle a few cranberries over each cup of batter to make for better presentation after they’re baked!
6. Bake regular muffins for 25-30 minutes (I baked mine for 27 minutes) and mini muffins for 15-20 minutes (I baked mine for 17). The muffins are done when the tops bounce back when touched and when a wooden toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
7. Let cool a few minutes in the tin then transfer to a wire cooling rack to let cool the rest of the way. (Or scoop them out and eat them while they’re still warm and crumbly!)

+ Here’s a great tip my Mom taught me: If you don’t have enough batter to fill every muffin cup, put a little bit of water in each empty cup. This will help the muffins bake evenly!
