Introduction
When I saw this recipe for zucchini cupcakes at Blake Bakes (http://www.blakebakes.com/2008/09/donna-bakeschocolate-chip-zucchini-cupcakes/) I knew I would have to make it! A quick consultation with The Other Half proved it. But could it be done with carrots? I decided to find out and I began to tinker around. These aren't too sweet, but they're light in texture and you still definitely know that it's dessert!
