Often little "nehochuhi" refuse to eat vegetables. Thanks to this recipe, it is possible to feed the kids with baked goods with carrots. It has been proven on their own experience that children do not even guess that there are carrots in cupcakes.
It is known that in carrots that have undergone heat treatment, vitamin C is destroyed. But this does not mean that the root crop does not benefit after that. Most of the useful properties in carrots are preserved when frying and baking in the oven. Vitamin A contained in carrots is absorbed by the body in the presence of fats. Cupcakes contain vegetable oil, which means that carrot pastries retain useful properties.
If there are no flax seeds, you can replace them with sesame seeds.
Cupcakes are soft, porous inside and very tasty.
