Cupcakes are associated with celebrations or treats and often they are loaded with lots of sugar and other nasty ingredients, so why not make them a little healthier.

I have used monk fruit – which is a natural sweetener in these to reduce the amount of other sugar required. Monk fruit works really well in baked goods and doesn’t leave an after taste.

I love biscuits as a snack especially during the working week as they are super easy to grab on the go. These biscuits are made on chickpea flour which I love to bake with due to its versatility and also because it contains protein and complex carbs to keep me going until my next meal.

As promised a healthy version of carrot cake, I have made into muffins as it is much easier to portion size out this way 🙂 Carrots are great for their vitamin A and antioxidant content and are so easy to add to muffins as they have a naturally sweet flavour. These muffins don’t contain much sugar and are kid friendly. Free of gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts and refined sugars. No nasties!

Such a quick, simple and easy recipe to make during the week or on the weekend. Best part is, it is actually healthy, full of protein and holds together really well! Chickpeas have a mild flavour that is somewhat buttery which goes great with any toppings.
