Ingredients

  • 6 oz unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tsps vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsps cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 cups flour, sifted
  • 4 tsps baking powder
  • 2 cups grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
  • 4 large egg whites

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 °F (160 °C). Line mini cupcake tin with liners if needed. If using a non-stick pan, usually a spritz of cooking spray in each cup will suffice.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, applesauce, oil, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour mixture and mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, combine shredded carrots, coconut, orange juice and zest, pineapple and raisins.
  • Using a large wooden spoon or a very heavy whisk, add carrot mixture to batter and fold in well.
  • Fill each cupcake tin nearly full, and bake at 325 °F for 15-20 minutes. Check with toothpick.
  • These are delicious without frosting, but you can whip up and top with some lowfat cream cheese frosting.
  • Note: cut out the coconut to reduce the fat even further.
