Sweet, moist, and delicious, these babies didn't need any frosting!
This recipe is inspired by this site http://danicasdaily.com/vegan-carrot-cupcake-wcream-cheese-frosting-the-recipe and a long ago visit to Kick Ass Cupcakes in Boston, Massachusetts where they served a very citrus-y vegan carrot cupcake that tastes almost similar to this!
Enjoy! :D
1 medium ripe banana
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 ½ cups shredded carrots
1 ¼ cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts (roast for 7 minutes!)

Add in flour mixture.
Fold in raisins and walnuts.
Pour 1/4 into 12 paper baking cups.

Cool and eat!
Silly me, I completely forgot to photograph the final product!
They're all gone right now!!!!!!
