Steps
1
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups; spray each liner with cooking spray.
2
Microwave spinach as directed on box. Rinse with cold water until cooled; drain well. In food processor, process cooked spinach to paste-like consistency. Measure out 1/2 cup of the spinach purée. (Save remaining spinach purée for another use.)
3
In large bowl, beat cake mix, spinach purée, water and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
4
Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread frosting on cupcakes.

For food safety reasons, frozen vegetables must be cooked.
No food processor? No problem. Purée cooked spinach using a blender.
For a more decorated look, pipe frosting in a decorative swirl on top of each cupcake using 2 tubs of frosting. Fill a decorating bag fitted with a star tip, add your favorite Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Frosting and pipe onto cupcakes.
For a fun easy treat, sprinkle cupcakes with candy sprinkles immediately after frosting.
Hesitant about spinach? You could try experimenting with better-for-you swaps and use 4 oz of unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana or Greek yogurt instead. Want more tips like this? Check out our article on common cooking and baking substitutions.
