  1. Superb moist cupcakes. I used zuccini and carrots - half and half, instead of only carrots, as didn't have enough carrots and these cupcakes still managed to taste very nice. My cupcakes rose quite a bit, doubled in size. I also used wholemeal and plain white flour in equal proportions to make it healthier, oh... and added some extra cocoa powder to the flour mix, but that's just me, tweaking everything. Enjoy!
     
  2. These were really really good. I loved the flavor of both the chocolate and the spice from the carrot mixture. I will defintly make these again.

I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!).
