Disney's Aulani Zucchini-Carrot Cupcakes

Disney is great about sharing recipes so those of us Disney dreaming can have a taste of the magic at home. This treat is from Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii, and is tasty enough that the kids will not know that you've snuck in some vegetables.


2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup finely diced peeled zucchini (I shredded mine)
1/2 cup finely diced peeled carrot
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup bran flour (I didn't have any, so used more bread flour)
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Heat oven to 320. Whisk together eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini, carrot, oil and salt. Gently add in dry ingredients, adding nuts last.
 
 

Fill mini muffin liners no more than 1/2 full. Cover with parchment paper and place a sheet pan on top to keep the cupcake tops flat while baking.

Bale for 15 minutes. Cool completely and frost with favorite butter cream icing.
