Mini Carrot Cakes
BY Monica Yates
I created these mini carrot cakes when I was super sick from antibiotics and my gut went haywire – I literally wouldn’t keep any food down, but my body was craving carrot cake. Random right? Well, not really. It is natures way of telling us what our body needs. During gastro, our body just wants really plain, carby things. I like to think of it as a ‘sponge’ than it trying to suck up all the bad crap in our stomach and be something solid. Anyway, I made these grain-free carrot cake and went through nearly 2 batches because that’s all I could eat. No regrets though, not when they taste so good and are actually full of nourishing ingredients! During this time, It was also when I decided that I am going to start providing more treats and more healthy indulgences in my diet for more balance which you can read about here
