Mini Carrot Cakes for Passover
One of my closest friends is allergic to gluten and as a result, I’m always on the lookout for delicious gluten free recipes like this Flourless Mini Carrot Cakes for Passover which is so delicious, you won’t even know it is gluten free!
Start by separating the egg whites and yolks. Beat the yolks together with sugar and add lemon juice and zest, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla, almond flour and carrots. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar together until stiff peaks form. Bake in the oven and once cooled, drizzle with a vanilla glaze made from vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Enjoy!Â
To make my Flourless Mini Carrot Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:

Perfect mini cake for any day of the week, I had it for Easter and it's been my favorite ever since.
I brought some to work and everyone who smelled it ran over to ask for a piece, so good.
Super yummy I just didn't add any pumpkin pie spice cause I wasn't sure where to buy it where i'm from.
This is so flavourful and easy to make, I would totally recommend this as a dessert for those who are vegan and hate ultra sweet things.
I added my own secret vegan frosting with some sprinkles, super tasty :)
If heaven was real and sent cake down to earth, this is how I'd imagine it tasted.
It's hard to share when you makes things like this, I found myself hissing at my own family for trying to snatch some hahaha!
My husband and I are both huge fans of carrot cakes and these little muffin typed cakes are exactly what we were looking for.
The cinnamon really brings out everything in this carrot cake delicious..
The almond meal is such a nice touch, I loved everything about this dish.
Okay but this is good it just needs a bit more sugar.
Kinda dry, I like the carrot cupcakes with honey more but this was my moms favorite.
Kinda zesty cause the lemon but i really like it, thx.
Yummy, simple and cute, nothing elses needed for a dessert.
Didn't make the glaze cause I don't like creamcheese so I had it on it's own, I'd say it's still quite yummy.
Kids love these mini carrot cakes and I sure as heck can't get enough of them lol.
Easily one of my favorite vegan desserts out there, love the taste.
Great recipe thanks so much for sharing it going to be making it again.
Took a long time to make and was still not done baking even afte I put it in the oven for the set time :( When it was done it was crumbly, I loved the taste though.
Worth getting fat if you eat these everyday , by god they are delicious.
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
