Ingredients

For the cupcakes

  • 3/4 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the frosting (optional)

  • carrot sticks or small dog treats for decoration (optional)
  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 1 teaspoon peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons Plant based milk (adjust to make creamy consistency)

Instructions

For the cupcakes

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease it.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, water, vegetable oil, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

For the frosting (optional)

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut butter, peanut butter and vegan milk until smooth.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spread a small amount of the frosting on top of each cupcake. You can use a spatula or simply drizzle it over the cupcakes.
  • Decorate each cupcake with a carrot stick or a small dog treat, if desired.
