Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts.

  5. 5

    Fill the Cupcake Liners

    Spoon the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each liner about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
