Good Morning everyone! I am excited to say that after almost two days of “technical difficulties”, we are back in business and just in time for breakfast 🙂 I have one of my favorite recipes to share today, and I will tell you a little secret, you can swap out the shredded carrots for zucchini and they are amazing as well. And, because I love to get in and out of the kitchen fast, you can double the batch and freeze them. Defrost another day, add a little cream cheese frosting, and everyone will go gaga over your “cupcakes.” I won’t tell them that you are sneaking in some veggies on them, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.
Onto the yummy recipe that will undoubtedly change the way you see the humble carrot (or zucchini) forever:
Pre-heat your oven to 325* and line 24 muffin cups with paper liners, or grease well.
- 2-1/4 cups Gluten Free Baking Mix or white rice flour (or regular all-purpose flour)
- 1-1/4 cups white sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
- 1/2 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins (optional)

Oh yum! I absolutely love carrot cake – and am happy to add this to my gluten-free collection of great recipes. 🙂
Oh Yum! Hubby is newly gluten-free and I am still collecting recipes to bake for him. I can't wait to try this one.
Looks very delicious!!! And they looked even more delicious once I found out they are gluten-free:)
Hi Tanya, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

I love carrot cake and the pineapple is right up my alley. Throw some frosting on there (my weakness) and I'd eat carrot cake for every meal!
Following you now:)
