Total Time 20 minutes
Yield 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded carrot (200g)
  • 1/2 cup applesauce or yogurt
  • 1/3 cup oil or additional applesauce
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (For low carb, try this Keto Carrot Cake)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar or coconut sugar or xylitol
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

  • The carrot cake cupcake recipe works with spelt, white, or loosely packed Bob's all purpose gluten free flour.
    To make the cupcakes, preheat oven to 350F and place a dozen cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, then set aside. In a large measuring cup, combine all liquid ingredients, including the carrot. Mix wet ingredients into dry, and immediately portion into the baking cups. Bake 20 minutes on the center rack of the oven. Allow the healthy cupcakes to cool before removing from the tray. The liners peel off easily after a day. If desire, frost with the healthy cream cheese frosting recipe above or with your favorite frosting.
