If you’re looking for a very simple Easter-y and/or spring-y recipe, I have the perfect one for you!
My CARROT & ZUCCHINI CUPCAKES take a store-bought mix and jazz them up into a delicious, seasonal treat. Easy as that!
The carrot and zucchini makes these cupcakes super moist and very flavorful. I also added in some chopped walnuts for texture too, but if nuts aren’t your jam, simply omit.
From my spring kitchen to yours, Happy Baking! xx
