Ingredients

• For the frosting:
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 6 Milk-Bone biscuits, small

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 6-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, pumpkin, apple sauce, vegetable oil, carrots and eggs.

Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and peanut butter.

Use a small offset spatula or a pastry bag fitted with decorative tip #1M to frost the cupcakes, garnished with Milk-Bone, if desired.
