Healthy Vanilla Cupcakes

Makes 16 cupcakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups spelt flour or gluten-free flour (my favourite basic GF mix recipe here)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 12 packets corn-free stevia
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp vanilla
• 2 cups 0% greek yogurt (for dairy free use plain or vanilla coconut yogurt or soy yogurt)
• 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  

Icing: (For dairy-free use alternative icing, or sub the cream cheese with soy cream-cheese and the butter with a dairy-free margarine or butter!)

• 60g cream cheese, softened
  
• 30g butter
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla 
• 3/4 icing sugar

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees C.  Line a muffin or cupcake tin with cases.
2. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients and stir (spelt flour, baking powder/soda/salt, stevia).
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, yogurt & lastly, coconut oil). 
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Mixture will be much thicker than traditional cupcake batter.
5. Scoop into cupcake liners or grease/spray your muffin tins.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until just golden around the edges and a toothpick comes clean. Leave in pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool.
   
7. For the icing: combine all the ingredients in a bowl and either use beaters or a food processor to combine. Frost your cupcakes once they are cooled and enjoy!
