Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch ground nutmeg
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrots
1/2 cup natural applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp finely chopped walnuts
4 oz low-fat cream cheese , such as
neufchatel, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar , sifted
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper cupcake liners.
Sift together the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a large stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the brown sugar, oil and eggs until well combined. Add the carrots, applesauce and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chopped walnuts.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Frost the cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
