Carrot Cake is an old favorite around here and it’s definitely a nostalgic dessert that evokes memories of baking at home and lazy Sunday potlucks. Carrot Cake is also one of those sneaky treats that makes you feel like you’re eating healthy (it’s got veggies in it, right?🥕😁!), but it can be so high in processed sugar and calories.
Our friend and plant-based recipe creator extraordinaire Amanda @plant__creations is here to share her recipe for this classic sweet that packs in flavor and nutrition. And, since it’s vegan and gluten-free (and easily adaptable to nix the walnuts), you can share these cupcakes with all your friends and family! 🧁
TO MAKE CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES:
INGREDIENTS
1 cup ZEGO oats (blended into oat flour)
1 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup walnuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup vegan cream cheese (for frosting)
1/4 cup agave (for frosting)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 and line your cupcake tins with baking
cups.
In a large bowl, add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder,
salt, and spices. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the non-dairy milk, coconut sugar,
vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk together well and pour the wet
ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add in the shredded carrots and walnuts. Combine well and
then divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins. Bake at
350 for 22-25 minutes.
While the cupcakes are baking, make the frosting.
In a small bowl, add the vegan cream cheese, agave, and
vanilla. Whisk together well until a smooth but thick frosting
forms. Place in the fridge.
Once the cupcakes are done, let cool completely before frosting. Top with extra carrots, walnuts, and cinnamon, and enjoy! ✨

📣📣 All oats are not created equal! Our raw oats have active enzymes and a multitude of benefits over other oats on the market. So what *exactly* do active enzymes have to bring to the table, you ask?
-SUPERIOR NUTRITION-
We use a cold process from harvest to rolling so our oats’ enzymes remain intact and protein and nutrients are preserved.
Active enzymes counter anti-nutrient growth so you absorb more nutrients. 💪🏻
-EASY TO DIGEST-
There is no detectable phytic acid (anti-nutrient) due to the preservation of enzyme activity during cold processing. 🙌🏻
-BETTER FLAVOR & TEXTURE-
Just remember, Raw oats have a natural bitterness due to their enzyme activity and either must be cooked or baked to eliminate it. They can also be enjoyed cold with yogurt. Many also enjoy them raw in protein balls or homemade bars with nut or seed butters, chocolate, or cinnamon. 🌱
📣🥣Do not use for overnight oats with milk unless you add 1/8th teaspoon salt for each 1/2 cup of oats. Or, try our muesli instead. Our Cinnamon Twist and Apple Cranberry are perfect for overnight oats!

📢 All chocolate brands should provide traceable heavy metal testing like ZEGO does for our breakfast cereals.
Lab testing by As You Sow and Consumer Reports from 2022 shows that a lot of chocolate, particularly dark chocolate and even more so cacao power, can be quite high in cadmium and lead, which can damage your health. Trader Joes chocolate has consistently had the highest heavy metal content.
But even without that transparency, you can still pick better brands. 🙌🏻
🍫 Take a look at the December 2022 Consumer Report on this issue and As You Sow’s report from March 2022. They tested dozens of chocolate brands and products. Find the ones you like the best that have the lowest metal levels.
And, be sure to only choose organic chocolate. It’s the only way to guarantee child labor and slave labor haven’t been used to harvest the cacao you eat. 🌱
⚠️Spoilers: ⚠️
Chocolove tested very well except for their 88% cacao, and their chocolates are organic. Ghirardelli and some Lindt products also tested well but are not organic.
Trader Joes, Equal Exchange, Endangered Species & Godiva are some of the brands that consistently showed high lead and cadmium. They need to clean up their act. And to be honest, should pull their products off the shelf until they can provide safe products. 💯

And, it’s good for your mental and physical health. 💪🏻

Can oatmeal be blood-sugar friendly? 🥣
Our oats are minimally processed and have an intact fiber-rich bran layer, which means your body digests them more slowly, and therefore your blood glucose will likely rise more slowly too.
Another way to calm glucose response: top oats with foods rich in protein, fat, and fiber, such as the ones below:
-Seeds, such as chia, flax, hemp, or pumpkin 🌱
-Our Whole Foods Plant Based Protein Powder 💪🏻
-Unsweetened coconut flakes 🥥
-Spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg✨

At ZEGO, we have been sourcing our gluten-free oats from the same farmers in the US for years. They have consistently tested as having no measurable gluten at a sensitivity level of 5 ppm (the lowest level possible). We post our results on our website and connect them to each package through the QR code.
Our founder Colleen is celiac and has been for 30 years. Listen to her response to the recent statement by Gluten-Free Watchdog that she cannot recommend any oat brands for Celiacs anymore because of supply chain issues resulting in cross contact. To be clear, this does not apply to ZEGO and we have reached out to GFWD to ask them to be more specific in their statement.
If you are looking for purity protocol, gluten-free oats that consistently test as having no measurable gluten at the lowest possible sensitivity level, we have the oats for you.
If you are looking for oats that have been tested to show that they have no or very low heavy metals, we are the company for you.
If you are looking for oats that do not have mycotoxins, that could hurt your stomach and interfere with your digestion or worse, we’ve got you covered.
And if you were looking for oats that do not have anti-nutrient overgrowth, that will prevent you from digesting and enjoying your oats, you guessed it, our oats are for you.
Our team works so hard every day to bring you the highest quality, safest oatmeal on the market. It is our mission and our honor, and we thank you for your support.
Part of our mission is to make our oats as accessible to you as possible without high shipping fees. So you can find us conveniently at Sprouts stores nationwide, vitacost.com, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods Mid-Atlantic region, and many other retail locations. Find the store nearest you by visiting the product pages on our website at zegofoods.com.
