Carrot & Pineapple Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
This Carrot Pineapple cupcake recipe is a god send for parents whose children are especially susceptible to sugar. Using agave instead of white processed sugar, these treats remain sweet but they are less likely to cause the “sugar high” that causes so many problems in children. The peeled and shredded carrots and pineapples add texture which some children have an aversion to, but pureeing these may alleviate this problem while preserving the flavor.

There is no rule stating that cupcakes have to be sweet, sugary confections coating in frosting. In fact, these mini chicken parmesan meatloaf cupcakes are baked in a cupcake tin – just like “regular” cupcakes, and there is no sugar anywhere in the recipe!
