Easy, light, healthy and full of pumpkin, these tasty cupcakes will surely make your party better. They are healthy enough to enjoy for breakfast, too. To speed things up, bake the cupcakes ahead of time, freeze them and then thaw and frost them. Two frosting options are included: the vegan one and the dairy one.
Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cupcakes with Creamy Pumpkin Frosting
Cupcake Ingredients:
1 cup Whole Wheat or Spelt Flour or GF Flour Mix
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
3 packets Stevia Powder

1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Water
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree strained for excess water, if fresh
1 Ripe Banana mashed
1 Ripe Avocado mashed

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, stevia, and salt. Gradually, mix in all other ingredients. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner to 3/4 full.

Cream Cheese Sugar-Free Pumpkin Frosting
Frosting Ingredients:
