      Carrots. By default, the recipe uses raw, fresh carrots. If you keep grated carrots in the freezer, you can use them.

      Oil. Vegetable oil is used in this recipe. If desired, you can replace it with melted butter, in which case you will need 180 g of it. In addition, you will need to slightly increase the amount of flour. Keep in mind that cupcakes with vegetable oil turn out to be more friable, with butter – a little denser.

      Eggs. For that recipe, you need medium-sized eggs C–1 or M. The weight of one such egg is 50-55 g. It is better if the eggs are at room temperature.

      Flour. We take ordinary flour of the highest grade with a protein of about 10 g per 100 g. Strong flour is not suitable for this recipe.

      Sugar. I use regular white sugar for the dough. You can also use brown, but keep in mind that its taste will still be smoothed out with spices.

      Spices. Instead of cinnamon and ginger separately, you can use a ready-made mix for ginger cookies or pumpkin pie. In this case, you will need 3/4 tsp of this mixture.

      Dates. Dates of any variety are suitable. The weight in the recipe is indicated for pure pulp without pits.

      At will. dates can be replaced or supplemented with prunes, dried apricots, and raisins.

      Nuts. In this recipe, you can use any nuts according to your taste and availability in your kitchen cabinet. I used walnuts and pistachios. Cashews, pecans, and hazelnuts are great.

      We proceed to cooking.

      Carrots are crushed using a blender. Add eggs, butter, sugar and salt. Whisk until smooth.

      Add the flour sifted with baking powder and spices, knead the dough.

      Chop the nuts. It's easier for me to use a blender.

      Cut the dates into small pieces. Add together with the nuts to the dough.

      Mix and transfer to a greased or parchment-lined form.

      We send it to a preheated 180 degree oven and bake until a dry match, about 45 minutes.

      Cool and serve.

      Have a nice tea party!
