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

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

    2. In a large bowl, mix together water, carrots, apple sauce, egg, and honey. Once mixed together, add the mashed bananas.

    3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.

    4. Combine dry and wet mixture and mix thoroughly.

    5. 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

    6. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a cupcake comes out clean.

    7. Cool cupcakes on rack before frosting.

    8. Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and honey until smooth.
