Healthy Camille – Italian Mini Carrot Cakes (No Refined Sugar)
Ingredients
- 2-3 carrots, ~200g
- 120 g whole almonds
- 60 g oats

- 60 ml of orange juice and zest, ~1 orange
- 30 ml coconut oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients straight into your food processor and blitz ( to make sure you have a light and spongy end result for your mini cakes make sure you don’t over mix the batter, with my food processor I blitz for ~1 min).
- Pour the batter into your preferred mould (I used a silicon dome mould to recreated the classic Camille shape that you would find at the supermarket but if don’t have it don’t worry, a muffin tin will do the job )
- Bake 30-40 mins at 180C.
- Once out of the oven a cooled down slightly, remove from the mould and let them cool down completely on a cooling rack.
