Raw, Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Recipe makes 4
Ingredients for cupcake:
1+ 1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup shredded coconut
8 soft dates
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger powder

Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and process until well combined. Fill your silicone mold with the mixture, press down firmly. This recipe makes about 4 cupcakes but depends on what size of mold you using. Let sit them in a freezer while you making the frosting.

I recommend making this frosting in a high speed blender in order to get it really creamy. If you don’t have one, you could always make coconut whip (1 cup chilled organic full fat coconut milk, 1 tsp coconut nectar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean, pinch of ground cloves) frosting using a regular mixer. Or if frosting is too fussy for you, this cake is super delicious on it’s own! You can roll them into balls, I just made this (without the frosting) today because I can’t stop eating them;) it’s now chilling in the fridge.

Ingredients for frosting:
2 cup soaked cashew
1 orange, peeled
2 small carrots, peeled and chopped

Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth. Spread the frosting over the base and let sit them in a freezer about 2- 3 hours to set.Once all set, decorate with the coconut oil and creamed coconut mixture, or use melted chocolate by using piping bag ( it’s sets really quickly ) then place them on baking paper. If you don’t have a piping bag, just cut one of the corners off of a zip bag and use that. Store in the freezer.

Ingredients for decoration:
1 heaped tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp creamed coconut, melted

Melt the coconut oil until it is liquid, once melted add creamed coconut and slowly whisk together until the mixture is smooth. Enjoy!
