Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup brown sugar , packed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups carrots, finely shredded
1/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar , sifted
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
2 tbsp chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To make the batter:.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar and eggs until thoroughly combined. Mix in the applesauce, vanilla and carrots. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in 1/4 cup of the chopped walnuts.
Evenly divide the batter between a 12 cup muffin tin lined with paper liners. Bake until golden and a toothpick placed in the center comes out mostly clean - about 16-20 minutes. Remove and turn the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting:.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Frost the cooled cupcakes and scatter the tops with the 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts.
