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.
