Making cupcakes for a christmas eve family party has been a tradition of my ever since I knew how to use an oven. I usually like to get creative and come up with cool unique flavors. This year is going to be a little different because I’m making healthy cupcakes. I’m sacrificing artificial ingredients, added sugars, and
artery clogging fat, without sacrificing flavor. And I’m 99% sure my family will not even notice it. They will only be focused on the dense doughy texture, the sweet caramel inside and the cinnamon-sugary glaze on top!
