This chocolate carrot recipe is delicious, healthy, and a great way for chocoholics to sneak in their veggies! These cupcakes are very muffin-like, but they are fluffy, chocolatey, and moist. They’re a healthy twist to your basic chocolate cupcakes without sacrificing taste or texture. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips, or to taste
- ¼ cup dried cranberries, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Whisk carrots, eggs, milk, applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl; stir into carrot mixture until just combined into a batter. Fold chocolate chips and cranberries into batter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared muffin cup.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are fluffy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Tips
These cupcakes would taste great with cream cheese icing. Or if you want to keep it healthy, try Lite Cool Whip!
