Recipe
Carrot Cake Cupcakes:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and line two cupcake tins with 15 paper liners.
- Grate the organic carrots finely using the fine grate side of a box grater. Set them aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable or canola oil, packed light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then, whisk in the Greek yogurt or sour cream, followed by the grated carrots.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and whisk to combine. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until everything is incorporated.
- Distribute the cupcake batter evenly between the 15 paper liners, filling each one about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, top each one with a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting (using only half of the cream cheese frosting recipe). If desired, sprinkle finely chopped walnuts on top.
- Now, savor these delightful Carrot Cake Cupcakes to your heart's content!
Enjoy!
