Using a cheese grater or food processor, grate the zucchini and set aside. Peel the carrots and grate with a cheese grater or food processor and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with muffin papers. Combine the coconut flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, raisins, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes in a medium-sized bowl. Using a whisk, mix throughly. Set aside.
