Carrot Cake Collagen Muffins With Cashew Icing
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).

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!
