For all the gluten free mamas out there - We made these this year and they were VERY tasty. They remind me more of a carrot cake with a cream cheese icing. They are wheat and sugar free and no one in my family noticed. I think the sweetness of the carrots really did the trick.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium/large carrots (about 2 shredded rounded cups, not packed)
- 1 small zucchini (optional strips for cross on top)
- 1 cup ground almonds or almond flour
- Raisins (raisins are not officially on the weight loss part of the plan but if you cut them in half and use just a few, they can squeeze in for this special easter occasion)
- Grated rind of 1 unwaxed orange
- 2 large organic eggs (extra large)
- 2 tblsps extra virgin olive oil or warmed coconut oil
- THM Sweetener to taste (the original recipe calls for 1/3 cup of honey, which is not on plan & could spike your blood sugar, so we preferred to use the powdered stevia to taste and you will need to play with the consistency depending on your sweetener of choice and the amount)
- 1 tblsp organic cider vinegar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 rounded tsps cinnamon
- ½ rounded tsp ground ginger
- ½ rounded tsp nutmeg
- ¼ rounded tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
