Carrot Cupcakes

After all the holi celebrations, I am back with a yummy and deliciously baked carrot cupcakes. Many people love carrots. Carrots are used in many ways as in salads, curries, fries, rice etc. etc.. I love these cupcakes as they are so moist and flavorful with grated carrots and ground cinnamon.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is a classic combination. But as I made this for my calorie conscious husband and my little one who is a choosy eater, I didn't decorate my cupcake. I have left it plain and simple. This has a light crumb texture.

I have made regular cupcakes as well as mini cupcakes and those mini cupcakes were a hit among my little one’s friends. Hope you all love this. Just try it out…
