Vegan Caramel Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

December 23, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 21 Comments

#healthy #paleo Cranberry-Lemon Cake

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!
