Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a muffin tin (6) with non stick spray, butter, ghee, or coconut oil.
Step 2
Add dry ingredient together in a small bowl (coconut flour, almond flour, flax meal, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves). Whisk well to combine.
Step 3
Add eggs and vanilla extract to a large bowl or stand mixer. Beat on high for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Pour in melted ghee/butter and milk.
Step 4
With mixer on low, slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Turn off mixer and stir in shredded carrots.
Step 5
Divide and portion batter into cupcake tin. Batter will continue to thicken so work quickly. If it becomes to thick, stir in an extra 1-2 tablespoons milk.
Step 6
Bake for 22-25 minutes until edges turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when poked through the center. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 7
Make frosting by adding cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract to a stand mixer or bowl. Beat on high for 1-2 minutes. Add sweetener. Slowly drizzle in coconut cream or heavy cream. Beat an additional 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Adjust sweetener to taste.
Step 8
Frost muffins and add chopped pecans or walnuts.
