This No Nut Carrot Cake Cupcake Recipe is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pillsbury™. The opinions and text are all mine.

As I start thinking about the seasons changing, I get a little excited.  I love fall and all the delicious flavors that go with it.  Fall means pumpkins, apples, carrots and spice! It is a delightful time of the year. Today I am sharing the ultimate carrot cake cupcake recipe with you guys, you can thank me later.

No Nut Carrot Cake Cupcakes Recipe

I have made a few carrot cake cupcakes in my lifetime and this one is by far the best!  Because of a nut-allergy in my home, I make them nut-free so we can all enjoy them. The spices in the cake are warm and delicious and my mouth waters every time I think about them.  This is a recipe that I am sure to make at least once a year. This time around I am even saving a little time because I found a secret weapon!  Introducing the NEW Pillsbury™ Filled Pastry Bag.
