Spring time means lots of carrots. Carrots roasted in the oven, fresh raw carrots with hummus, or carrot cakes. I came across this recipe and love how simple these cupcakes are! There is something about cupcakes in the spring time. Am I the only one? There is so much freshness and color in the spring and the bright orange of these cupcakes just seems to fit right in! Mother’s day is coming up and this would be a great addition to brunch or your family dinner!
The cupcakes are sweet enough to eat alone or dust with some freshly grated carrots or lemon zest. I added a coconut glaze (whipped coconut with confectioner’s sugar) and grated carrots to mine! Enjoy:)
