Carrot Cupcakes

We like to put a little carrot on top of the cupcakes using Wilton sparkle gel in orange and green. This is so cute and it’s especially fun for Easter. You can skip this part if you would rather have plain icing. These are certainly good any time of year! Sometimes if I have a few extra minutes I will make this Vanilla Buttercream Frosting instead of using the store bought. It’s very simple and so good! You could even skip the icing all together and just eat these as carrot muffins! I love recipes that you can use different ways. It’s a great way to get extra veggies in your kids. Even my kids that do not like carrots will eat these! They say they are so yummy. 🙂

Make sure the cupcakes are really cool before icing and decorating with the gel. I use a set of these baking racks and they are great!

These carrot muffins are so yummy and it’s a tasty way to get your family to eat carrots. I use a grater or you can use small food processor to grate the carrots.

Ingredients for Carrot Cake Muffins:

• 1-¼ cup flour

How to make the Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a small bowl, add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well.

3. In a separate mixing bowl, add sugar, oil, vanilla and egg and mix well. Stir in flour mixture and mix until well blended. Fold in carrots.

These are so pretty displayed on a cupcake stand! I have one that I use for all my birthday parties, holidays and more. They come in so handy! You could also put some of the cupcakes on a pretty cake stand.

If you need to transport  your cupcakes, these cupcake carries are so handy! You can even get one of the double or triple ones to carry even more cupcakes! This is especially nice if you are taking the cupcakes to school or a cookout. There isn’t anything worse than ruined cupcakes in the back of a car……
