Main Ingredients for making SOFT & MOIST carrot plum cupcakes
🥕 Carrots
Rich in beta-carotene, fiber, and antioxidants, carrots add natural sweetness and moisture to the cupcakes while supporting eye health and digestion.
🌾 Whole Wheat Flour (Atta)
Atta retains the bran and fiber, making these cupcakes more filling and better for gut health compared to refined flour.
Suji (Semolina)
Semolina helps hold the cake together, preventing it from becoming too soft or crumbly. Unlike plain flour, semolina adds a slightly coarse, rich texture.
🍯 Jaggery
Jaggery is less processed than white sugar and contains trace minerals like iron and potassium. It also gives a deep, caramel-like flavor that pairs beautifully with spices.
🥜 Nuts, Raisins & Seeds
Mixed nuts, raisins, and watermelon seeds add healthy fats, plant protein, and texture—turning a simple cupcake into a nourishing snack.
Step-by-Step Preparation of No Maida Carrot Plum Cupcakes Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a cupcake tray.

- Place a strainer over the bowl and sift all the dry ingredients. Gently mix to form a smooth batter.
- Add grated carrots, nuts, raisins, and seeds. Fold gently.
- Add vinegar and mix once. The batter should be thick but pourable.
