Looking for a simple and delicious dessert that’s perfect for Easter? These easy carrot cake cupcakes just the thing!

The cupcakes are moist, flavorful, and are made in just one bowl. Plus, they only take about 30 minutes to whip up from scratch.

I like to top the cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting, but I’ve included some other suggestions in the tips section below if you’re looking to change things up.

Ingredients for carrot cake cupcakes in dishes.

Ingredient notes and substitutions

  • Oil: I like to use light olive oil in this recipe, but another neutral oil, like canola oil, also works. If you would like to use liquid coconut oil, be sure that your ingredients are at room temperature to avoid solidifying the oil.
  • Buttermilk: Full-fat or low-fat buttermilk will work in this recipe. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
  • Flour: It’s important to properly measure the flour to avoid heavy or dry cupcakes. Weighing the flour is the most accurate method for measuring the flour. You can also sift the flour, lightly spoon it into a measuring cup, and level.
  • Brown sugar: Feel free to use dark brown sugar if you prefer.
  • Spices: You can add spices or adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your tastes.

Storage

Store any leftover, unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days when properly stored.

I recommend storing frosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
