I love to make juices and one of my favorites is carrot and beet juice with apple. I love to make these cupcakes with the left over pulp. My kids love them and they are healthy and delicious. I like to top mine with some cream cheese frosting. I know they are good when my kids give me a thumbs up.

BEET AND CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES



Beet and Carrot Cake Cupcakes image

This is a modification of Recipe #114622. I reduced the fat and sugar and added some pineapple and raisins. I made it for a Mexico missions trip, and it was a hit with the high schoolers and adults alike. It can also be made in cake form, as in the original recipe. To make it even healthier, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.
