I’ve been wanting to make gluten free Carrot Cupcakes for a while now.  When I think of spring, I think of carrot cake and when I think of picnics and potlucks I think of carrot cake cupcake yumminess.

These little gluten free Carrot Cake Cupcakes are topped with my Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting, though if you’re looking for a vegan frosting option, you could go with my Coconut Cream Frosting.

My younger son loved these, though the whole family enjoyed them as well.  In the spirit of my own personal cupcake month, I present you with, Carrot Cake Cupcakes!

  1. Elana, I used your carrot cake recipe last weekend and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! It was a big hit with my family. I couldn’t stop thinking about it all week! ;-)

  3. Elana, I’ve been a fan of your site for years, initially using your recipes to make things for my grandson with autism. Lately I’ve been using this recipe to help my daughter, who has been diagnosed with Gastritis. I make two batches in hamburger bun tins – one with carrots only, which she eats like a bread, one with added blueberries which is her daily treat. I adjusted the recipe a little because of her Gastritis, using an Extra Light Olive Oil, and half the amount of honey. She LOVES the muffins, says “they’re like gold” and they give her stomach no problems. I wonder if you would permit her to share your recipe on the Gastritis Forum she is part of. People on the Forum complain all the time how boring the Gastritis diet is, and I would like them to know that food doesn’t necessarily have to be boring. She would give you credit and refer them to your site of course. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with the world.
