Birthday Cupcakes

1-1/2 cups (6oz/175g) whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 cup (2oz/55g) rolled oats

1 cup (6oz/175g) finely grated carrots

1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125ml) blackstrap molasses

1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125ml) water

1 egg

1-1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and oats in a small bowl.

3. Thoroughly combine the carrots, molasses, water, egg and oil in a large bowl.

4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well.

5. Pour the batter into small cupcake pans and bake for 20 minutes.

A plain yogurt or cream cheese "icing" makes a final touch.

(We didn't ice ours, if you saw the pictures you know Harley loved them anyway!)
