Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. 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.

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.

3. 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.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, stir in the sifted flour and soda. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the consistency of the dough. Read about the intricacies of using soda in baking at the link at the end of the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then mix grated carrots with zest and cinnamon into the dough. At this stage, if desired, you can add other fillers, such as nuts or candied fruits.

6. STEP 6

   

   The finished dough will be quite thick, but dripping from the whisk. Lightly grease the silicone molds 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.

7. STEP 7

   

   The finished muffins will increase slightly in size and brown. You can check if they are ready by piercing them with a wooden skewer. If it is dry, then the muffins are ready and can be removed from the oven.

8. STEP 8

   

   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 treat!

I was looking at recipes for dishes with carrots on the website and became interested in a recipe for simple carrot cupcakes in silicone molds. The products are the most affordable. I added some extra raisins to them, since we love muffins and homemade raisin bread. I replaced the orange zest with lemon juice (1 tsp); I did not use cinnamon. I placed the finished dough in 6 silicone molds. I baked the cupcakes in the oven for 25 minutes at 220°. Then, turning off the oven, I left the muffins there for another 3 minutes. The carrots gave the muffins juiciness, they turned out crumbly, tender and very tasty! We ate them with pleasure! Thank you very much for the recipe!
