Yummy dessert!

I made dessert in preparation for a dinner with friends tonight..zucchini cupcakes & cream cheese frosting! Below are my recipes for the cupcakes and frosting. All organic and all from scratch (:

Cupcakes:
1 C flour
2 eggs
1/4 C canola oil
1 zucchini skin, shredded
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 TBS cinnamon
1/2 C sugar (I did 1/4 C brown and 1/4 C cane)

Cream sugar(s) with wet ingredients (including zucchini). Sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine wet and dry. Bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean..around 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool before frosting.

Frosting:
I package cream cheese
Powered sugar to taste
1 TBS honey
2 TBS brown sugar

*This recipe yields about 10 cupcakes. I like to make small batches to help us not go overboard on the sweets and to keep buying organic within our budget

*I found these cupcake papers at my local grocery store. They are FSC certified and contain no chlorine. A great way to keep baking all natural!

The finished product!
