Ingredients
- 1 cup brown-rice flour
- 1/3 cup teff flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
Made with brown-rice flour, walnuts and cinnamon, this is one delicious cupcake you can feel good about.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Whisk flours with tapioca, xanthan gum, baking powder and soda, spices and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs with sugar, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir into flour mixture, then fold in carrot, walnuts and coconut. Mixture will be thick. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Smooth tops.
- Bake in centre of oven until a cake tester inserted into centre of a cupcake comes out clean, about 25 min. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 min. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack. Cupcakes will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Finishing Tip:
Top these cupcakes with a cream-cheese icing. Use a hand mixer to beat half of a 250-g pkg room-temperature cream cheese with 1/4 cup room-temperature unsalted butter, 1 cup icing sugar and 2 tsp grated orange zest in a medium bowl until smooth. Pipe over cupcakes.

I substituted the brown sugar for palm sugar and added some candied ginger as well, no nuts. I also don't like using the Xantham Gum so I omitted that as well. They are amazing! Makes 9 though, not quite 12. Thanks for this recipe!
