Carrot cake cupcakes

Sometimes you just need the simple things in life, am I right or am I right?! It's all well and good creating masterpieces when it comes to cooking and baking but in all honesty I quite like the 'plain Jane' stuff as well as the 'fancy Nancy' stuff :)
When I was planning my Easter recipes I obviously wanted to create something that resembled carrot cake as let's be honest, is it even Easter without some sort of carrot cake recipe? I don't think so! But, last year I created a delicious Carrot Cake with Greek Yoghurt Frosting so I didn't want to repeat myself again this year. Enter the Carrot Cake Cupcakes.
​

Don't be fooled by the simple look, they may not look all fancy but the flavour of them is seriously good! Packed full of carrot cake goodness as well as loads of nuts to give them a bit of a crunch :)
