Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with a paper liner. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk lemon juice and almond milk. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add olive oil, vanilla extract and almond milk mixture.
Combine, scraping down the sides to bring all the ingredients together, and it forms a smooth batter.
Stir in grated carrots and chopped nuts until well distributed into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin holes.
Bake on the center rack of your oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool down on a rack completely before adding any frosting.
You can use one batch of my vegan frosting recipe for an easy cupcake frosting to pipe on top. Or, for a light spreadable frosting, use my coconut cream frosting recipe.
