  1. Yum. Stop it with the baked goods recipes!! I have a list longer than I can keep up with. 😛

    I don't have cardamom…something I can leave out? I also have lots of carrot puree I want to get rid of so I was hoping you'd call for that, lol. Maybe in place of some of the oil/milk??

  2. Lindsey,

    Yes, you could leave out the cardamom. You only really "need" the cinnamon to create the 'spice' flavor. I bet you could use carrot puree, and just don't add the milk. Stir it together and then see if it is too thick, and add milk just a little at a time as needed.

  3. Oh boy-this looks delicious. I'm a sucker for carrot cake and muffins. Nothing could be better than having them both together! 😉

  4. I made these last night and they are wonderful! I made the frosting also and it was equally delicious. I have been very disappointed in the heaviness of the majority of the baked goods I've made with almond flour. This recipe is perfect. It isn't greasy or overly-eggy. I am going to try interchanging the carrott with apple per my husband's request. Thank you so much for redeeming my baked goods!

  5. Sorry if this is a silly question, but since this is grain-free that means gluten-free too, right? I am going to make a cake for a friend who is gluten-free and think this one looks great!

  6. I just found this recipe looking for a cream cheese icing to go with your Pumpkin Bread. Have you tried the two together?

  7. I love to bake, and also seek non-dairy icing recipes. I’ve read blogs about substituting nuts for cheeses and I wonder if that could ever work for the cream-cheesiness of icing, if you added vanilla or other flavor. hmm…

  8. Do you have the nutritional information on these?

  9. Icing for Carrot cake:
    Cream from 1 can of coconut milk (put it the refrig overnight then scrape the cream off the top)
    2 tsp. Vanilla
    1 tsp. Stevia or Xylitol

    Cream this together and spread on the cake.
