Mini Whole Wheat Carrot Cupcakes

I thought it would be nice to set out a healthy-ish treat for the Easter Bunny, so I whipped up a batch of these yummy whole wheat carrot cupcakes. Alas, they turned out to be so good that there are none left. Sorry, Bunny.

I love Easter. It’s a chance to enjoy family togetherness and celebrate the new life and growth that comes with springtime. However, Easter often also comes with a ton of chocolate, candy, and refined sugar. These cupcakes are a sweet Easter treat that don’t contain a ton of junk and mystery ingredients like many store-bought confections do.

Cupcake Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (I use melted coconut oil because of its health benefits)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
5-7 or so medium carrots to get 4 cups of shredded carrot
