These delightful carrot cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting are a perfect treat for any occasion. Moist and flavorful, they’ll be a hit with everyone!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. This will keep the cupcakes nice and tidy while they bake.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This will be the base for our tasty cupcakes.
In another bowl, mix the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently fold in the shredded carrots to give our cupcakes that lovely, moist texture.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as we want our cupcakes to be light and airy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. This will allow them to rise perfectly while baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them towards the end to make sure they don't overbake.
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cupcakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite cream cheese frosting and enjoy them as a sweet treat!
Notes
These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days if you can resist eating them all at once!
