Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl or ziplock bag mix a batch of my gluten free cake flour blend (Recipe link found in post). Whisk or mix well.
  • In a medium sized bowl whisk together the measured flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, combine the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla.
  • In small bowl mix together the 2 tbsp of egg replacer with 4 tbsp warm water. Stir and let sit one minute to thicken.
  • Add egg replacer to the wet mixture. Mix well.
  • With a spatula fold in the grated carrots and the coconut shreds. Stir until combined.
  • Carefully add the dry ingredients and stir into mixture with spatula until completely combined, do not over mix. This batter thickens as it sits.
  • Even though your batter will be thicker it should still be easy to scoop. Fill each liner 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes.
  • Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • Frost cupcakes with your favorite dairy free regular or cream cheese frosting.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
