Ingredients

1 1/2 cup gluten free flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature

2 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill egg replacer, mixed with 4 tbsp water (can substitute 2 eggs here instead)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, yogurt, oil, egg replacer, and vanilla until combined. Gently stir in shredded carrots.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Step 5
Fill cupcake liners halfway full and bake cupcakes for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cupcakes comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool before removing from tin and frosting.

Step 1
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter until blended and creamy. Slowly stream in powdered sugar, continuing to beat until fully combined and smooth.
