In a separate bowl, measure out the vegetable oil and crack the eggs into it. Beat them together with a whisk.

🔧 mixing bowl

This step practices cracking eggs and whisking them.

Next, take the grated carrots. If grating, use a box grater and hold it steady on the table. Grate the carrots carefully using the large holes of the grater.

🔧 box grater

Always keep your fingers away from the grater while grating. Use a towel to hold the grater if needed.

Grating is a fun skill to practice! It helps with hand-eye coordination.

Add the grated carrots to the wet ingredients and mix well.

🔧 mixing bowl

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix!

Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

🌡️ 350°F🔧 oven

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
