Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Peel and finely grate the carrots. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs well using an electric mixer or a whisk.
- Add the olive oil and orange juice to the beaten eggs, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the grated carrots, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting is a classic choice) or enjoy them plain.
Tips:
- Grate the carrots finely to ensure they cook evenly and blend well into the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients; this will help keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
- For added flavor, you can fold in some chopped walnuts or raisins into the batter before baking.
- Ensure your eggs and orange juice are at room temperature to help the batter mix more smoothly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting, if you choose to add a topping.
With these Easter Bunny's Carrot Cupcakes, you’ll have a delicious and festive dessert that’s sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. Follow the recipe and tips, and you'll get perfect cupcakes every time. Enjoy the baking process and the delightful results!
