Equipment
• mini cupcake baking tray, mini cupcake liners, mini ice cream scoop, blender, piping bag.
Materials
• CUPCAKES WET INGREDIENTS
• ½ cup of plant-based milk I use oat milk
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup of maple syrup
• ¼ cup of grape seed oil or flavorless oil of your choice
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 ½ cup of finely shredded carrot
• DRY INGREDIENTS
• 1 ½ cup of gluten free mix flour I use Bob’s Red Mill
• ½ cup of almond flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp Himalayan pink salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• CASHEW FROSTING
• 1 cup of raw cashews soaked for 6 hours and rinsed
• ½ cup canned coconut cream only the thick part, room temperature
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp green Spirulina powder
• Eye candies 48
Instructions
- Line your mini cupcake tray with cupcake liners
- Preheat your oven to 350F, 175C.
- Make buttermilk by mixing plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- When ready, mix with all the wet ingredients except carrot.
- In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the buttermilk mix while whisking until smooth.
- Add the carrots and mix well again.
- Fill your cupcake tray by using mini-ice cream scoop. Use spatula to scrape off the leftover batter on the scoop before you fill each liner to make sure the cupcakes are nice and neat.
- Bake for 15minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- CASHEW FROSTING
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, except Spirulina.
- Scoop 1/3 of the white frosting in a bowl and gradually add Spirulina while mixing.
- Place the frosting into a refrigerator for 2 - 3 hours.
- Fill your piping bag with the white frosting and simply decorate your cupcakes in a shape of a cone. Then do the same with the green.
- By using tweezers, apply the eyes on the side of each cone. If you find the frosting too soft, then you may place it into refrigerator for an hour before you apply the eyes.
Notes
After you apply the frosting, it is best to place the cupcakes into refrigerator. Just make sure you do not seal them in a plastic container, because the eyes will bleed. If you need to transport them, make sure you have a paper box.
The Candy Eyeballs are available on Amazon.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🧡🙏🧡
I am so impressed with your genius. These are absolutely adorable and healthy. I wish parents in the world would give this to their kids as a treat instead of the usual garbage. Kids would love it. Did you have some children to partake?
Lovely video Lena!
That is so true @carolynstahl but even my grandsons, love the junk, like the junk. I have to five and half year old twin boys and I am always trying to make them healthy treats, but they do not care much. Oh wee, maybe when they grow older. On the other hand, they are healthy and they love fruits and veggies. They are also the most precious to me.
Anyway, thank you so much Dear Carolyn, I am so happy you like it and I appreciate your support very much 🧡🙏🧡
It looks very nice and delicious 😋
Thank you so much Sweetie! I am happy you like it 🧡🙏🧡
