I got the carrot cupcake recipe from Taste of Home. I chose this recipe because I had carrot pulp from juicing. (Yes, I am trying to incorporate a healthy lifestyle. Well, ‘trying’ is the operative word.)
Actually, I juiced 4 carrots, 2 cucumber and 1 apple. So, this should be called carrot-cucumber-apple cupcake with chocolate chips. The name is too long so I settled for a simpler title. You can see that there are carrot chunks left which I sliced into smaller bits.
I prepared the following ingredients.
I just followed this: In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and oil. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder,and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Stir in carrots.
Truth is, I did not measure my pulp. I just dumped what I had. I warned my aunts that the finished product might have bits of cucumber seeds.
This is what the batter looks like.
But I cannot resist not folding in some chocolate chips. I left a handful for the toppings.
Now I let the photos do the talking.
You can’t really see the carrots. The pulp mixed well with other ingredients. My aunts liked it anyway. That is a good sign.
In our house, presentation matters. It makes the food look appetizing no matter how simple the dish is. Tada!
I bought the cupcake holder a few weeks ago. This means that there will be cupcakes for Noche Buena next week. 😀
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Your cupcakes look so yummy! I’m looking forward to our minor house renovation (mainly at our kitchen). Because after that, we are planning to buy an electric oven. However, I got scared with the increase in our electric bill.
Looks yummy nga. Bookmarked this page already. Thanks for the share.

[…] also tried juicing last December and I was left with pulp that I made into carrot cupcake. Since I broke my oven, I can no longer use the pulp for cupcake. I decided to make fish balls! […]
