		<description>Once again CCK saves my butt!  One of my 13 month old diapered overlords (I have twins) made her first food request today (they&#039;re just learning to talk).  She asked me for a &quot;blue&quot; cake.  Well I try my best to keep sugar away from the babies, but a basic white cake recipe is hard to find vegan, sugar free(or at least not packed full of it), and not packed full of splenda or other chemical crap.  Luckily I found this recipe.  The thing I love about your recipes more than anything else, is their versatility.  Using this recipe I omitted the cinnamon, replaced half the applesauce with pureed blueberries and black berries, used stevia only for the sweetener, used a flax egg, and upped the vanilla a bit- and wah-lah!  24 mini sugar free &quot;blue&quot; cakes, packed full of more nutrients than any normal bread.


This isn&#039;t the first time one of your recipes has saved my behind with my babies.  Here are just of the baby and mommy approved recipes I&#039;ve used from you (in all of these sugar was either replaced with applesauce, apple juice, or stevia) that my babies have gone gaga over:

Thank you so much Katie, for allowing me to continue giving my children healthy sugar free snakcs without feeling like I&#039;m depriving them! (you wouldn&#039;t believe the recipes some people try to pass off as good for baby-http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/teething-biscuit-recipes.html)</description>

		<description>Just wondering, is the nutrition info for the 9-cupcake batch or 12? (we have diabetics in my family, sorry, it makes knowing kind of necessary...)</description>

		<description>Mmm, 24 mini 24-carrot muffins. . .

@ShellBee, I know this is months later than your question so you have likely found a mix you like, but just in case, I use a homemade mix of GF flours/starches. My basic mix is 1/2 cup each brown rice flour, millet flour, sorghum flour, tapioca (or corn) starch, and potato starch, then 1tsp xanthan gum. I&#039;m not allergic to corn so I use corn starch since it&#039;s usually less expensive than tapioca starch, but you can use either and it will work.

@Katie, you are amazing. Thank you again for your beautiful recipes. I made these according to your recipe with stevia but with the gluten-free homemade flour mix above, and I subbed out maple syrup for vanilla (I&#039;m allergic to vanilla). GF is so tricky. They turned out a little gummy in the center, so the next time I will add a bit of coconut flour (maybe 1/8 cup) to try to soak up some of the liquid. I&#039;d rather do that than reduce the liquid because I love that this recipe made a perfect 24 mini muffins. They&#039;ll just be a tiny bit bigger mini muffins, which is a-ok by me :o)

I frosted them with homemade coconut butter (thank you for opening up my world with that, by the way!)</description>
