Carrot Cupcakes

Oscar Burlin the magician, here. I want to share the recipe for one of my favorite party snacks with you. I raise rabbits for my magic shows and buy carrots in bulk to feed them. Instead of letting the extra carrots go to waste, I like to make delicious carrot cupcakes. This recipe can be a little more challenging than some of the others you’ll find here, so be sure to have your parents help with the baking.

These are perfect for the spring, and especially good for Easter with its carrot theme. Rabbits, including the Easter Bunny, love carrots and so should you! Carrots are healthy for you and also delicious. They’re even more so delicious when baked into these cupcakes and you can make and share with your friends at a party. You can also have your parents cut a carrot into pumpkin shapes and serve these on Halloween. Careful with serving them to friends, though, for they’ll quickly disappear and, unlike a magic trick, it won’t be hard to see how: hungry bellies.

Just follow the eleven easy steps below and you’ll have yourself a party favorite to serve your friends in no time at all.
