First up, if you’re looking for a grain-free recipe for carrot cake cupcakes, we’ve got you covered. These are hands down the most fluffy, light, moist and delicious grain-free recipe I’ve ever created. Usually carrot cake would pair up well with a cream cheese frosting, but I thought lets give it a new twist and move away from the norm. So I used a caramel frosting for these, made with dates, almond butter and almond milk. Yummmm….
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut flour4 eggs1/4 cup coconut oilJuice of half an orange1/2 cup honey1 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp bicarb soda1/2 tsp vanilla essence1/2 tsp ginger powder1/2 tsp nutmeg powder1 carrot (grated)1/2 cup squishy dates1/2 cup almond milk1 tbsp coconut oil3 tbsp peanut butterIn a mixing bowl, first mix all the wet ingredients – honey, coconut oil, eggs and honey and mix week.
Then start adding all your dry ingredients and keep mixing.
Add the grated carrots and mix. if you feel that your mixture is too runny, you can add another tbsp of flour. This depends on the brand of coconut flour you use.
Grease a muffin tray and line with cupcake liners.
Pour the cake mixture into each liner, only half filling it.
Bake for 20 mins in a pre-heated oven at 180C.
While your cupcakes cook, you can start making the frosting. Pour all the frosting ingredients into a saucepan and keep on low flame until the dates get squishy and the mixture becomes smooth.
Allow the cupcakes and mixture to cool and then pour the frosting cream into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes.
.
Depending on what brand of coconut flour you use, always start by pouring a little flour at a time and see how the consistency turns out.
If your frosting is not smooth enough, you can put it into a food processor or a blender until its creamy.
