Delicious carrot cupcakes with creamy homemade frosting. Perfect for parties!
Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup grated carrots
  • 2.5 cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
  • 0.33333334326744 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.33333334326744 cup maple syrup
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Cover and chill until ready to use.
  • Pat dry the grated carrots for garnish with a clean kitchen or paper towel, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt by whisking together. Ensure brown sugar is clump-free and add it to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Add carrots and mix until fully coated. Incorporate almond milk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, stirring just until blended. The batter will be thinner than usual cake batter; if it's too runny, add extra flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups evenly.
  • Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then carefully transfer to the wire rack to cool for another 15 minutes.
  • Top with decadent cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with grated carrots for a touch of color and freshness.
