Orange Carrot Oat Muffins

This was my first attempt at baking with gluten free flour. I chose oat flour because it was safe- I'm familiar with the taste and bake with oats often. All purpose flour would have been a better choice but it has chickpea flour in it and chickpeas hate me. They turned out VERY DENSE (is it possible for something to be moist and dry at the same time?), but tasted great.
