Carrot cupcakes \u2013 A whole lot of love in a cupcake<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Serves: 9 cupcakes<\/p>\n

For the cupcake batter you\u2019ll need: <\/b><\/p>\n

1\u00bd cups almond flour; 1 tsp baking powder; \u00bd tsp baking soda; \u00bd tsp sea salt; \u00bc tsp ground ginger; \u00bd tsp cinnamon; \u00bc tsp nutmeg; 3 eggs; 1\/3 cup maple syrup; \u00bc cup coconut oil (melted);\u00a0 <\/span>\u00bc tsp pure vanilla extract; 1\u00bd cups grated carrot<\/p>\n

For the Cashew \u201cCream Cheese\u201d frosting you\u2019ll need: <\/b><\/p>\n

1 cup cashews (soaked for 2 hours or overnight); 4 tbsps unsweetened dairy-free milk; 2 tbsps lemon juice; 2 tbsps maple syrup; 1 tbsp coconut oil; a pinch of sea salt<\/p>\n

Optional toppings:<\/b><\/p>\n

Cacao nibs; coconut flakes; lemon zest<\/p>\n

To make: <\/b><\/p>\n

Mix together the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg). Ensure the baking soda is mixed in very well, otherwise, it can turn the carrots green.<\/p>\n

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract).<\/p>\n

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mix, and then fold in the grated carrots.<\/p>\n

Once everything is well combined, scoop \u00bc cup of batter into a lined or oiled muffin tin, bake in a 180\u00b0C oven for 23-25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.<\/p>\n

As the cupcakes are baking or cooling, prepare the icing by blending all ingredients in a blender or food processor until a smooth and silky texture forms.<\/p>\n

Once the cupcakes are cool, ice them using an offset spatula or spoon, or with a piping bag (you can make this out of a Ziploc bag).<\/p>\n

Top with cacao nibs, coconut flakes or lemon zest, or leave them plain.<\/p>\n
