    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard cupcake pan with paper cupcake liners.

Notes

  • I like to use Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener All Natural Sugar Substitute. It has little to no aftertaste, tastes amazing in baked goods and is a 1:1 substitution for sugar. The company also states that it is a ZERO on the glycemic index.
  • If you aren't watching your carbs, you can substitute equal portions of granulated sugar for the sugar substitute.
