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
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- 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.
- Bake for 18-24 minutes. Insert a toothpick, when it comes out clean it is done.
- For frosting combine cream cheese, vanilla, honey and salt and 3 tbsp of water and whip on high speed for 3 minutes.
- 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.
