The Best Carrot Cupcakes


So I figured out the best way to make carrot cupcakes without having that weird stringiness texture of shredded carrot in your mouth. It’s not the most brilliant idea in the world, I'm sure its been thought of before, and it is truly simple. Pureed carrots people! Plus a little special touch of shredded coconut makes a delicious cupcake :) These cupcakes are full of flavour without the greasiness of traditional carrot cake. You can also add cream cheese frosting!


Amazing Carrot Cupcakes

3 cups all purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
12 ounces of carrots
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. In a blender add the oil, eggs, vanilla and carrots (remember to chop them up a bit to help with the blending process. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold in the coconut.
Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.




Oh, I also finally bought a hand mixer so I'm able to bake more things now. Watch out for my next post which will be orange flavoured marshmallows! I'm so excited :P
