Thinking about what you can bake next? How about some tasty Carrot Cake Cupcakes😍
We had a coworkers birthday in the office and one of the girls made these DELICIOUS cupcakes! So I thought I had to try them out.
I’ve never really eaten carrot cake before because I’ll always choose a cheesecake over carrot cake if we are at a restaurant or event.
And, well, lockdown is the best time to try new things! Right?
Give this a try and tag us in your creations 😍

Cupcakes

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup milk of your choice (judge your consistency because I did add more)
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
2 tbsp chia seeds (Make a chia egg)
Preheat oven to 175C.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together dry ingredient.
Stir in wet ingredients. Beat until well-combined.

Evenly divide batter into cupcake pan (+- 12 cupcakes), filling each 2/3 way full.
