Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots, roughly chopped if shreds are long
1 cup pillsbury moist supreme reduced-sugar yellow cake mix (1/4 of box)
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
2/3 cup fat-free liquid egg product (like Egg Beaters Original)
2/3 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice (not drained)
2/3 cup Splenda granular, No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/4 cup raisins (not packed)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (not packed)
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
For frosting
4 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup fage total 0% fat free Greek yogurt (or another thick, plain fat-free yogurt)
2/3 cup Splenda granular, No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a medium bowl, combine all dry cupcake ingredients except for the carrots and raisins (in other words -- cake mix, flour, Splenda, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and baking powder). Mix well and set aside.
3
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and 1/4 cup water until blended.
4
Add the contents of the medium bowl to the large bowl. Using a wire whisk or fork, blend until just mixed. Then, stir in the carrots, pineapple, and raisins. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
5
Evenly distribute cake mixture among the cups, and place in the oven to cook for 20 - 25 minutes (until a toothpick poked into the center of one comes out clean).
6
While the cupcakes cook, combine all the frosting ingredients in a small bowl. Using a whisk or fork, blend until smooth. Place frosting in the fridge to chill.
7
Once cupcakes are fully cooked, remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool completely. Then plate cupcakes, and spread frosting evenly over tops.
8
Refrigerate until frosting has set and you're ready to serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
