Let Them Eat Cup Cakes...Put The Carrots On Top now...;)

When it comes to getting your toddler to eat healthy food yet something that looks more like what all other children buy from the supermarket & eat...well "healthy carrot muffins", there couldn't be a better answer at least for the moment when i don't have too much time to cook , for kids who are naughtier & families who are naughtier.... what could be a better idea than this...??

The most important part was that each yummy cupcake contains about 1/2 a serving of veggies,without the frosting, plus healthy enough for your child to have them every day.

It took off really cool & everybody ate the cupcakes as if they had never tasted something like this actually they had never tasted something like this...!!

As the carrot cup cakes baked in my oven the sweet aroma of carrots filled the house, the great thing was that it took only about 20-25 mins to get them all done...hmmmm...smells heavenly...!!
well try it, I'm sure you will have the same opinion on this...!!

Carrots & Orange Whole wheat Muffins Recipe:

What goes in:

• 2  cups white whole-wheat flour.
• 1  tsp baking soda.
• 1/2  tsp cinnamon powder.
• 1/2  tsp baking powder.
• 1/4  tsp salt.
• 2  large eggs.
• 1-1/4  cup sugar.
• 1/2  cup vegetable oil( i used olive oil).
• 1/4  cup orange juice.
• 1-1/2  cup grated carrots.

Psst: You could even add about 1/2 a cup of dry roasted and coarsely cut walnuts or pecans if you'd feel like but i didn't use any since my toddler still doesn't have enough teeth to chew on the nuts.

How to put it in together:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the muffin cups/moulds with paper liners. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until blended. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a wooden spoon. Add oil and orange juice, then combine with flour mixture. Fold in carrots.

2. Pour the batter from a spout into prepared cupcake/muffin liners or moulds. Bake  at 350 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.


Makes: 18 cupcakes depending on the size of the moulds / cups.

Bake: at 350 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes.
