The recipe is dairy-free, wheat-free and can be made egg- and gluten-free if you modify the recipe (see the notes at the end of the recipe for the instructions). The recipe makes about 10 medium-sized muffins or 6 large, as shown in our photos. Tips I always add calcium powder (Skin Friend PM) when I bake anything sweet that might be acidic because calcium and magnesium are highly alkalising and create an acid-alkaline balanced recipe. It stops me from adversely reacting to the maple syrup (I don't react to rice malt syrup as it is an alkaline sweetener). The calcium and magnesium are also good...

It's nearly Easter so I thought Carrot Cake would be a good recipe to revisit. I adapted this recipe from the carrot cake recipe from The Healthy Skin Diet, which I used to make all the time.  If you are following our books: This recipe is suitable for The Eczema Detox Program or The Eczema Diet, but not the FID Program (during weeks 1-4).

This delicious hummus recipe was adapted from The Eczema Detox. Try it with crackers and vegie sticks, use a dollop to flavour healthy salads or spread it onto sandwiches or toast for a protein-rich meal. Beetroots (also known as beets) are highly alkalizing so they add acid-alkaline balance to this dip recipe. Alkalizing foods can help to give a lovely, healthy glow to your skin.  Note beetroot contains moderate salicylates so if you are sensitive to salicylates, simply omit the beetroot for a healthy sesame-free hummus dip.  Serves 6; preparation time 10 minutes (if cooking the chickpeas there is additional soaking and cooking time)...
