How about a lightly sweetened, healthier version of carrot cake for your next cupcake-making day!
Have you ever baked with einkorn flour? You might never go back to modern flour…. it’s got a richer flavor AND it contains far more vitamins and minerals and waaaaaaaaay less gluten than modern wheat flour. Bonus points: 4 grams of protein in einkorn flour per serving 
and non-GMO!

Classic Carrot Cake
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups einkorn flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1-2 drops of YL Cinnamon vitality oil (or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)
1-2 drops of YL Ginger vitality oil (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups grated carrots (about 3-4 large carrots)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup coconut sugar (you can sub brown sugar too)
1/2 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds ) finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Sift together einkorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a medium bowl.
In a blender, combine the oil, raisins, and only 1 cup of the grated carrots. Puree until carrots and raisins are finely chopped.
In a larger bowl, add eggs and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add in sugar and beat for 3 minutes (until batter is light and fluffy).
Fold half the flour mixture into the egg/sugar mixture and when it’s almost completely absorbed, fold in half of the oil/raisin/carrot combo. Repeat.
Now, fold in the remaining 1 cup of carrot gratings in 2 batches. Fold in the nuts and then pour the batter into your muffin papers.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tip of a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. (Note: if you decide to make a carrot cake, be sure to grease and flour your pan beforehand, line the bottom with parchment paper, and bake for 55-60 min!)
Now…. for the icing!
3 TABLESPOONSFUL butter, room temp
1 cup full fat cream cheese
4 TBS pure (real deal!) maple syrup
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
a squeeze of lemon or orange juice (and for more flavor, add a couple drops of either the YL Vitality Lemon or Orange essential oil)
Beat butter and cream cheese on medium-high for about 2 minutes or until smooth.
add in maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and lemon or orange juice. Beat for about 4 minutes…. until light and fluffy.
if needed, chill for about 10 minutes to slightly stiffen into a spreadable consistency.
Enjoy with friends!

Happy Day friends! We are interconnected with our environment, and our environment has an enormous (90% + ) impact on our health.
Day friends! We are interconnected with our environment, and our environment has an enormous (90% + ) impact on our health.Yep. Our individual genetic makeup only plays a 10-ish% part in your health. The vast majority of dangerous genes can stay turned off by how we choose our environment. This includes the words we say to ourselves, our emotions, how we receive words said over us, what we put in our bodies, what we put on our bodies, and how connected we are to the environment that Elohim (one of the many names of God, which in Hebrew means “creator”) made for us. Just as He wants us to remain connected to Him, He also wants us to remain connected to the earth He created. Separation from either one will ALWAYS contribute to health problems.
Here’s a short video by Dr. Laura Koniver MD about grounding and how it affects your body.
