Curious Cupcakes

And by "cupcakes" I mean muffins. I think? I mean, they're sort of halfway between the two? its like carrot cake for breakfast... except healthy... and also, they don't look like cupcakes at all, since they come in a little round bite-size package. :D I adapted this recipe from two recipes I found (one from Bodyrock.tv, and the other from Skinny Bitch in the Kitch). I brought the results of my first attempt at these in to a friend about, oh, 3? 4? months ago? She kept at me to give her the recipe until she gave up hope in my feeble goldfish brain. She'll probably think she's hallucinating when she finally sees the recipe, written out, just for her. (It's O.K. friend! It's all real!) Now then. I need to get to the gym so I can continue to eat all the confused cupcakes that my bottomless pit of a stomach can handle! Curious & most Confused Cupcakes: 1 cup oats, ground into oat flour 2 cups almond meal 3 tsp baking powder 4 TBSP honey (or agave) 4 TBSP coconut oil 1 cup carrots, cooked & mashed chopped nuts (almonds & walnuts are my favorite) Mix all ingredients until uniform. Roll into balls, about an inch in diameter. Bake for about 25 min at 350 degrees. cool. Eat. Yummmmmmm. Note: Instead of carrots, I like to use the pulp from my juicer. I actually freeze the pulp & defrost it when I'm making a batch of these little guys. I don't bother cooking it. I just toss it on in (1-1& 1/2 cups). Bonus: The nutrients aren't cooked out or ruined by the heat from the water this way either! These are awesome for pre- & post-workout snacks by the way! (I will upload a picture the next time I make these. So... hopefully tomorrow.)
