Step 1
How to make simple carrot cupcakes? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Read a separate article at the end of this recipe about the properties of flour.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the carrots and rinse in running water to remove dirt. Then grate the carrots on a fine or medium grater. Remove the zest from the orange. Only the orange part is needed. Try not to touch the white one that is underneath. The white part is bitter, but we don’t need that. But the orange part will give a pleasant aroma. Add a little ground cinnamon to the zest and carrots.

Step 3
In a bowl for preparing the dough, combine the eggs with sugar and beat them into a fluffy foam. Then stir in vegetable oil.

The finished dough will be quite thick, but dripping from the whisk. Grease the silicone molds a little with vegetable oil and place the finished dough in them by 2/3 of the total volume. Place the molds with the dough in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20-25 minutes. The times are approximate, use your oven as a guide. Read about the operation of ovens in the article below the steps.

Thanks to carrots, the muffins turn out to be a beautiful orange color, with a porous and slightly moist crumb. The finished cupcakes can be sprinkled with a little powdered sugar or decorated with a cream cap. Enjoy your meal!
