The Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes recipe

These are hands down The Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes I have ever made. They are simple to make, taste delicious and are semi healthy given that the main ingredient is carrots – right?! The frosting on top is smooth and creamy with just a hint of vanilla. Perfect!

Start by mixing the dry ingredients together. Next combine carrot and oil in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the carrot and mix in the eggs. Bake in the oven and leave to cool while you prepare the cream cheese frosting. Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe the frosting on top and that’s it! Simple!
