Paleo Carrot Cake Cupcakes Recipe with Coconut Butter Frosting
"Be still my heart. These paleo carrot cake cupcakes are so tasty it might make your heart flutter. They’re sure to please whether you make them for your beau or keep them to yourself. As I’m sure you can guess, the average slice of carrot cake you order at the diner is not going to fly if you’re serious about paleo living. But you shouldn’t have to do without just because the “real thing” doesn’t follow the diet of our ancestors."
