Healthy carrot cupcakes

Asalamualaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuhu

Today, there was a plan to have the book club at someones house. I made some healthy cupcakes for everyone. However, everyone was quite busy. So i had them all to myself!!

Here is the recipe:

Carrot Cake,

2 cups flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp ground cloves

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup grated carrot

3/4 cup Date Syrup

2/3 cup applesauce or crushed pineapple

1/2 cup canola oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp real vanilla

Optional – 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts

Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls and then combine well. Pour into a greased 9-in cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out dry.

**Frosting note** – This is delicious of course, with the typical cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk combo. 

If you want a healthier option, try this:

-8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature

-5 TB Date Syrup

-3 packages of Stevia powder

Mix well in blender and spread on cooled cake.

I got this recipe on a website where they sell date syrup, they had many recipes on the website, which looked sooooooooooooo delicious!!
