Description

Here is an amazing gluten free and grain free carrot cake cupcake recipe that everyone will enjoy!


Ingredients

  • Cupcake
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup raw honey, more to taste if needed
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • chopped walnuts and raisins, optional (If adding raisins, no more than 1/2 cup, and if adding walnuts, I’d keep it to around 1/4 cup chopped and some to sprinkle on top of frosting.)
  • Cream Cheese Icing
  • 1 6 oz pkg. softened organic cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp of raw honey
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
  2. Combine all ingredients and put in greased muffin pan 2/3 full. Note, if you want the muffins big, you might only need to fill 8 muffins 2/3 full.
  3. Bake for 18-24 minutes. Insert a toothpick, when it comes out clean it is done.
  4. For frosting combine cream cheese, vanilla, honey and salt and 3 tbsp of water and whip on high speed for 3 minutes.
  5. This will create a fluffy and smooth frosting. You can put the frosting into a small plastic bag and cut the tip of a corner off and pipe it onto a cooled carrot cake cupcake.

    I did everything according to the recipe except one thing- substituting molasses for the honey.

    They did not rise.

    I have doubled the amount of ingredients to make double the amount of cupcakes. They did not rise and were very soft.the dough was on the liquid side like. Is that how it suppose to be or I missed something? Thank you!

      Did you use coconut flour? Sounds like you might need a little more. All coconut flour is different so you might want to try a different brand.
