Ingredients
- Cake ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 carrots, grated
1 egg
2 tablespoons honey
2 ripe bananas, mashed
4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Icing ingredients:
3/4 cup cream cheese
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
Directions
For cake:

- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Combine dry and wet mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Spoon into cupcake tins (lined with cupcake papers) about 3/4 full. Handy tip: Spray inside the paper liner with a bit on nonstick spray (Pam) or lightly coat with butter. Otherwise the cupcake will stick to the liner. I learned this the hard way
