Carrot Cupcakes
This is a recipe that’s easy and quick to make. I use canned cream cheese frosting, but you can make your own. Also, don’t be afraid to use extra light olive oil — it has no taste but serves as an excellent substitute for butter or other oils.

- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. Baking Soda

Instructions
