These Carrot Cake Collagen Muffins are sweet, perfectly moist and full of delicious spices, including cinnamon and ginger. They taste exactly like carrot cake, but they’re also paleo, gluten-free, grain-free and made with no added sugar. Top each muffin with an easy, creamy Cashew Icing you’ll want to slather on everything (like these Keto Chocolate Muffins).

Ingredients:

Carrot Cake Collagen Muffins

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1 carrot, grated (roughly 2 cups, loosely packed, per carrot)
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee, melted
1/3 cup powdered sweetener of choice
2 Tbsp. tapioca flour
1 scoop Bulletproof Collagen Protein powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract (substitute with half as much vanilla powder)
1.5 tsp. cinnamon
1/2-1 tsp. ginger powder

Cashew Icing

1 1/2 cups cashews, soaked and strained
1/4 cup coconut cream
1 Tbsp. Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract (substitute with half as much vanilla powder)
2 Tbsp. powdered sweetener of choice (or more to taste)
1 good squeeze of lemon juice

You’ll only use about half the batch of Cashew Icing. Store the rest in the fridge up to a week, or freeze it for your next baking project!

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a muffin tray.
Add all the muffin ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined.
Scoop or pour the batter into the prepared muffin tray. Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through.
Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack while you make the Cashew Icing.
Add all of the icing ingredients into a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and re-blend. Taste the icing and add a touch more sweetener or lemon juice if desired.
Pour the icing into a piping bag. Once the muffins are warm (not hot), pipe the icing on top of a muffin and enjoy!
