HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-count muffin tray with paper liners. Set aside.
Sift together flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Add all remaining dry ingredients (baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt) and mix together until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, oil, applesauce, and PediaSure Complete® until smooth.
Using a spatula, scrape wet mixture over dry ingredients. Add carrots and stir everything together until homogeneous, making sure not to over mix.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, dividing batter equally.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cupcake comes out clean.
Cool completely before icing.
For the icing:
Place chocolate chips and PediaSure Complete® into a small saucepan over low heat and stir until melted.
Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
Transfer to bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
TIP
Substitute Vanilla PediaSure Complete® for Chocolate or Strawberry Flavours.
