The cutest little desserts that are not only delicious, but make such a great addition to your holiday table. These carrot cake cupcakes are made healthier with whole wheat pastry flour, shredded carrots, coconut oil in place of butter and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and applesauce. The cupcakes are topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut making adorable “bird’s nests” with egg-shaped chocolate candies.<\/p>\n For these bird’s nest cupcakes, I wanted to go with a carrot cake to stay with the fun Easter theme, but you could of course make any type of cupcakes or frosting you’d like! However I highly recommend making these deliciously moist carrot cake cupcakes as I KNOW you won’t be disappointed! My 2 year old kept calling them “baby bird treats” and absolutely loved them.<\/p>\n This recipe makes 12 cupcakes OR you could make 24 mini carrot cake muffins! You will make the batter the exact same way, you\u2019ll just need adjust the cooking time for the smaller muffins. Here\u2019s how to make them!<\/p>\n While the cupcakes cool, you can toast the coconut and make the cream cheese frosting!<\/p>\n The great thing about these cupcakes is that they taste even better the next day! Just make sure to store them a sealed, airtight container and they will last for about a day on the counter then transfer them to your fridge for up to 4 to 5 days<\/strong>.
