Mini Paleo Carrot Cake Recipe 5

This adorable mini paleo carrot cake recipe is the best healthy, from-scratch dessert for any occasion. It’s made with coconut flour plus coconut cream in place of the cream cheese frosting. It can be made in a muffin tin to create cupcakes or you can use a mini bundt cake pan. This simple treat is gluten free, dairy free, grain free, but not lacking in flavor!

There is a light feeling of autumn in the air even if the warm summer days are still here. But the days have started to cool down so turning on the oven is not something that scares me anymore.

I wanted to cook something to fill my kitchen with rich flavors and also use healthy summer veggies like carrots. When I was a child I thought that carrots could only be used in savory foods like a stew, but I found out that carrot cakes or carrot cake muffins are extremely delicious and they earned a well-deserved place amongst the comfort foods we cook in our house.

The only small problem with these types of foods is that they usually contain a bit of sugar (or a lot), a bit of refined flour, a bit of milk and so on. But the good news is that these recipes can be adapted and turned into healthy dishes full of good fats and nutrients which nourish our bodies.

Check out the recipe for the mini bundt carrot cakes below. If you don’t have a bundt cake mold simply use a muffin tin since the quantities are the same.

    Looks delish! Would it make a difference to leave out the raisins? Maybe substitute pecans or walnuts? Thanks!

      I don’t think it would change it to leave out the raisins. Nuts would probably make a nice addition too!
