Instructions

  • Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  • Combine zucchini, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
  • Add dry mix to wet mix and stir.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes.
  • While cupcakes are baking, make your frosting by whisking together the sugar, flour, milk, and cream in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a boil and thickens - about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture into large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until cool. Add in butter, honey, and vanilla, until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.

  • Decorate with drizzled honey and pistachio pieces.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
