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.
