Hg's 14-Carat Cupcakes - Ww Points = 2
- 1 12 cups carrots, shredded, roughly chopped if shreds are long
- 1 cup reduced-sugar yellow cake mix (like Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Classic Yellow)
- 34 cup whole wheat flour
- 34 cup pumpkin puree, canned
- 23 cup liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)

- 14 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (not packed)
- 1 12 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 12 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened
- 13 cup Greek yogurt (or another thick, plain fat-free yogurt)
- 12 cup Splenda granular
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and 1/4 cup water until blended.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- Refrigerate until frosting has set and you're ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
