I’m a sucker for my Vitamix – she makes my life so damn easy … and cheaper! It’s costs far less of those hard-earned dollars to purchase whole nuts, whole seeds and whole grains, rather than pre-made flours. She (Miss Mix) also whips eggs like a pro, creating thick, fluffy, shut-all-the-front-doors-because-I-can’t-even-handle-the-amazingness-of-their-consistency-type batters. Honesty, I just get lazy and chuck everything in and then take the credit for the amazing results when really all I did was throw bits and bobs into my trusty kitchen (I’d-be-lost-without-you) companion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I also get into the habit of using nut flours, because that’s what we usually have on hand. However I am conscious that there must be at least a few of you funky little vegemites that can’t eat nuts, or can<\/em>\u00a0have them at home, but you want lunchbox options to make the\u00a0kiddlets for\u00a0their school’s not-nuts policy. When I say nut I mean the plant kind … unless it’s an all girls school, then I guess no nuts has a double meaning, am I right?<\/p>\n Anyhoo, today I made this recipe<\/a>\u00a0but we didn’t have whole almonds like the recipe says. I was about to sub for cashews when I spied the newly purchased packet of organic brown rice. Away went the creamy, curvy drupes and out came the little brown grains. Everything else stayed the same, except I only blended the eggs, carrots, spices and rice together, the caramel was added afterwards in a separate bowl, just before I folded in the dates.<\/p>\n The result was seriously beyond freakin-amazeball territory and getting close to the holy-shiznuts arena, usually reserved only for things like a good self-saucing choccie pudding or a perfectly cooked (and I mean seriously on point!!!) crispy salmon fillet.<\/p>\n It then occurred to me that a blender is totally optional here. You could …<\/p>\n If you have a Vitamix or equivalent then by all means be Enjoy, whichever way you make it xxx<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line a muffin tin with 5 non-toxic muffin tins (I think I say this every muffin post but here it is again; I LUUUUURRRRVVVVEEEE the “if you care” brand). Crack eggs into the Vitamix jug, followed by the carrots, spices\/soda\/salt and brown rice. Blend that all together on high until its a smooth paste. Pour paste out into a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n In a small saucepan on the stovetop, melt the butter and sugar together on a medium heat to make a caramel (of sorts). Once that’s all brown and smelling like toffee, add it to the mixing bowl with the eggy-ricey-carroty paste and fold the two together gently. Lastly, fold in those chopped dates.<\/p>\n Divide the mix among the 5 muffin cases – yes they will almost be overflowing … but this makes them nice and tall and real “cafe-style”. Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned and nice and spongy.<\/p>\n Blender-free Option<\/strong><\/p>\n As above, except crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat with a handheld electric beater. Slowly add the carrot puree and keep beating. Sift the brown rice flour and spices\/soda\/salt together in a separate bowl and then gently fold into the egg\/carrot mix.<\/p>\n From here everything is the same – except you’ll have more washing up … sozzles about that one.<\/p>\n Notes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n *If you can’t handle butter due to reasons such as dairy-intolerance or gallbladder dysfunction, or you don’t support the dairy industry period, swap for coconut oil instead.<\/p>\n If for whatever reason your carrot mixture is on the drier side don’t sweat it – just fold through another egg or two after adding the caramel and before folding through the dates. Keep calm and make this recipe work for your circumstances on the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An easy and nourishing cupcake recipe with both a blender and blender-free option.
