Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 2 Cups Sifted AP Flour
  • 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 Cup coconut oil
  • 2 Cups grated carrots
  • 1/2 Cup walnuts or pecans

Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 3 Cups of sifted confectioners sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs until foamy and add oil slowly as you continue beating. Add dry sifted ingredients and beat until smooth. Add carrots and nuts. Both can be chopped in a food processor.

These are really cute with a few carrot shreds on top of the frosting.
