Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Carrot Cake Cupcakes from Zayas

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Carrot Cake Cupcake from ZayasI had ordered gluten-free carrot cake cupcakes from Zayas last week. The cupcakes could be dairy-free and also egg-free but I ordered them to be dairy-free and gluten-free. They tasted great. They weren’t oversweet like some other gluten-free products or desserts. It was just right. There were raisins and nuts in them and that added a really nice flavour as well.

The texture of the cupcakes was similar to a cupcake made with wheat. It had a nice crumby texture and it wasn’t heavy or dense. The frosting was made with egg-whites and it tasted great as well and it did not have an overpowering sweet taste. Of course, I ate one as soon as I got them and after that I ate two within the same day. I had to use a lot of self-control to eat one per day.

I’ll definitely order them again in the future. I had no issues with the cupcakes. People react differently to gluten-free products depending on how sensitive they are. So anytime you are buying homemade or locally-made gluten-free food, ask questions about the ingredients, preparation and eat at your own risk. There are no testing facilities or certification for gluten-free food made in Trinidad and Tobago so we have to be extra careful. The owner of Zayas has celiac disease and experience with the diet so I felt more comfortable trying out food from her.

Foods rich in Thiamin (Vitamin B1)

Nutritional deficiencies can occur with people suffering from Celiac Disease due to poor absorption and also from a limited gluten-free diet. Wheat, barley and rye provide many important nutrients. Cutting out gluten can reduce some important vitamins and minerals in the diet. There are few gluten-free grain products enriched with the vitamins and minerals that gluten-containing grain products have. People would have to make substitutions in their diet to make up the nutrients. Here is a graphic that I created to show some foods rich in thiamin/vitamin B1. I used the information found from the World's Healthiest Foods website .

Coconut Drops – Gluten Free Recipe

Coconut Drops are a common baked treat found in bakeries in Trinidad and Tobago. I miss them a lot so I decided to make some. I used the Long Time Coconut Drops recipe from The Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago & The Caribbean cookbook from Naparima Girls’ High School. I substituted the flour with the Perfect Flour Blend from Namaste Foods . I bought this flour from Be Free Foods . The flour could also be ordered Amazon . The Coconut Drops came out great, the texture and taste was good. I kept the recipe simple. Next time, I will add raisins or sultanas with less sugar so it would not be too sweet.

Yesterday, I attended the first official Gluten Free Baking Class at Moy’s Gluten Free Kitchen . It was a great experience. I received a lot of great tips and felt more motivated to bake. Each participant baked a loaf and did adaptations to the recipe. We made a non-vegan and a vegan version (without eggs). Both versions of the bread came out great. We also learnt how to bake cookies and muffins.
