INGREDIENTS
3 large Eggs
½ cup Sweet Best Stevia-Erythritol
⅓ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
⅓ cup Coconut Oil measure melted
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 ½ cups Baking Essentials Almond Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Ginger
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Grated Carrots
½ cup Pecans finely chopped
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
8 oz Cream Cheese or lactose-free cream cheese
½ cup Unsalted Butter
⅓ cup Sweet Best Stevia-Erythritol
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper or grease with an oil spray if preferred. Set aside.
Before you start, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. If you are using cold eggs straight out of the fridge, they will solidify the coconut oil creating oil lumps. Otherwise, use butter to prevent this from happening.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, erythritol, unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Set aside
In another bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually, adding 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between each addition to gently incorporate the flour and avoid lumps.
When the batter is thick and consistent, stir in the grated carrots and finely chopped pecans.
Cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan, then gently transfer onto a cooling rack and cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before eating. Be patient. They get the best texture at room temperature.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
In a large bowl, add soft cream cheese, butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla. Beat with an electric beater on medium speed at first to prevent the powder sweetener from bursting out of the bowl. Then, increase to high speed until the frosting is fluffy and whiter in color – about 2 minutes.
Use this frosting on top of cooled muffins. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the frosting to decorate and a pinch of ground cinnamon
