Easy 1-bowl gluten-free and vegan carrot apple muffins with a secret ingredient. Add a splash of cinnamon kombucha for probiotics and flavor!

Where are my “booch” lovers?

Every time Dan asks if he can drink the kombucha in the fridge I have to smile and say yes because there was a time not that long ago that “booch” wasn’t in his vocab.

Kombucha is now a staple in our house, my feel-good drink of choice that supports detoxification, energy production, and immunity boost.

It’s my favorite form of bubbly.

But have you ever tried baking with it?

These Carrot Apple Kombucha Muffins are the perfect intro to baking with kombucha!

Naturally vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and refined sugar free with a splash of booch for characters.

I made some on Easter for the coming week and no-bunny complained.

How to Make Carrot Apple Kombucha Muffins

I think we can agree that the carrot-apple combo is always a good one, whether it’s apple harvest or carrot crop time.

A hearty oat and oat flour base creates the gluten-free base to these game changers.

The batter is naturally sweetened with smashed banana and a bit of maple syrup.

The addition of applesauce and almond milk makes them creamy and moist without added oils.

You have choices here on how fine you grate your carrots and apples.

I prefer to leave mine with a bit of texture so you can see the carrot and apple chunks with each bite.

For even more fun texture, try adding raisins or walnuts for sweetness and crunch factor.

Mad Magic Cinnamon Kombucha

You’re going to love adding Mad Magic Cinnamon Kombucha to this recipe.

Kombucha takes the place of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in this muffin recipe.

The natural acidity of the drink enhances the sweet carrots and apples that make up these muffins.

It also adds a hint of ginger flavor to the muffins without being overpowering or sweet.

This authentically delicious kombucha that is organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan.

I’m fortunate to have Mad Magic Kombucha local to me, but if you don’t have booch on hand, try subbing lemon juice or apple cider vinegar instead for the same great flavor.

How to Serve Carrot Apple Kombucha Muffins

These Carrot Apple Kombucha Muffins are perfect to make in advance for easy grab and go breakfasts and snacks.

Store them in the refrigerator or freezer for the best muffin preservation.

You can reheat before serving, but generally I like these muffins straight from the fridge.

Don’t forget to wash it down with the rest of the Mad Magic Kombucha you opened while baking!
