In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, almond flour, rice flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix all the ingredients well.

Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter.

The gluten-free and sugar-free mini carrot cakes can be optimally preserved by following a few simple tips:
Room temperature storage: If the mini cakes have just been prepared and are expected to be consumed within a day or two, they can be stored at room temperature, covered with an airtight container or plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
Refrigerator storage: To extend the storage life, it is advisable to store the mini cakes in the refrigerator, always in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
Freezer storage: If you wish to store the mini cakes for a longer period, you can freeze them. Once completely cooled, wrap the mini cakes individually in plastic wrap and place them in a zip-lock bag or suitable freezer containers. The mini cakes can be stored in the freezer for about 2-3 months.
Before consuming the mini cakes stored in the refrigerator or freezer, ensure to let them thaw completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Additionally, it is advisable to slightly warm them in the oven or microwave before serving to make the inside softer and tastier.
