1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 3)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, plus more for topping
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Whisk the brown sugar, yogurt, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla in a small bowl; pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the carrots, coconut, macadamia nuts and crystallized ginger.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, grate the carrots finely. - To get the perfect golden color, roast the carrots until they are slightly caramelized. - Don't overcook the milk mixture, as it can become too thick and difficult to spread. - If you don't have a baking tray, you can use a large plate or a chopping board. - Grease the baking tray or plate well to prevent the barfi from sticking. - Pour the milk mixture onto the greased tray or plate in an even layer. - Refrigerate the barfi for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before cutting into squares. - For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. - You can add nuts, dried fruits, or even chocolate chips to the barfi for a more decadent treat.
