Happy Monday and belated Easter! I spent the weekend baking these treats for my family Easter dinner at my Grandmother’s. I love Easter because it always gets me so excited for spring.. Mother nature had different plans though, and it actually started to snow in the middle of our Easter dinner. I suppose I can’t complain too much though because I do remember there still being snow on Mother’s Day last year! Man, what a drag that was.
Anyhoo, these cupcakes were a huge hit this past weekend, even those in my family that aren’t gluten free loved them! I’m sure if you’re not gluten free you could easily use a regular mix for this recipe. (If you do, be sure to let me know how they turn out!)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, start by combining all of the dry ingredients first.
- Next, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly then add the butter, lemon zest and carrots.
