Mini Vegan GF Skinny Funfetti Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

Hey there! Thanks✨ for visiting Happy Healthy Noms for this week’s Review Thursday.🌟

This week I’m still on a vegan cupcake kick! I made an army of mini cupcakes for my boyfriend and our friends!

I decided to make Vegan Funfetti  Cupcakes, because who who can resist such a fun and fluffy cupcake?

They’re mini so they would be easy to pop in as we all played Dungeons and Dragons!   I used the Minimalist Baker‘s recipe for Vegan Funfetti Cupcakes.

I made 3⃣ changes to the recipe:

1⃣~To make it Sugar-free I used Truvia baking blend!

2⃣~To make it Gluten-free I used Bob’s Red Milll Gluten-free All Purpose flour.

3⃣~Since they’re mini cupcakes, they only need do bake for 9⃣ minutes!

 

The icing is the same that I put on my Skinny Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes. 

I used the Vegan Basic Vanilla Fluffy Buttercream Frosting from Isa Chandra Moscowitz’ and Terry Hope Romero’s book “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World“. 

You can find the recipe here! The only thing I changed is that I cut the recipe in half. (The recipe makes a LOT of Icing!)

Vegan Skinny Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Icing

Hey there! Thanks✨ for visiting Happy Healthy Noms for this week’s Review Thursday.🌟

This week, I wanted to make a Healthy Vegan Dessert for my Boyfriend❤️, but I was out of Vegan Chocolate Chips, so I couldn’t make my usual desserts!

Looking around for something yummy, I decided to make my Honey❤️ a simple (and healthy) cupcake that I could put his favorite fruit: Raspberries on top of it! 

I found Chocolate Covered Katie‘s Skinny Vanilla Cupcakes! They’re Vegan, healthy, and sugar–free. But, best of all they’re: fluffy, moist, and delicious! 

  

I Made 6⃣ Choices with the Recipe:

1⃣~I used Spelt Flour. I ground it up in my Vitamix. 

  • Why Spelt? It has a low Gluten content, so it’s easier to digest, and it’s a healthy grain to eat!

2⃣~Fiber boost: Flax Meal instead of an Egg Replacer.

3⃣~To make it sugar–free I used 6 teaspoons of Truvia Baking Blend.

4⃣~Instead of Nunatural Stevia Packet, I used Monk Fruit In The Raw.

  • Monk Fruit In The Raw is just the extract taken from a little known Monk Fruit, which is a type of melon. 
  • Best of all: A+ Taste!

5⃣~For the Yogurt, I used SoDelicious Coconut Yogurt.

6⃣~I used Coconut Oil.

 The Icing? Now, that was an adventure. This was my first attempt at making a Healthy Sugar-free Icing!

I made a Chocolate Avocado Icing that I thought was good. However, the comments I got were, “Hmm…” (Insert Painfully Long Pause Here) “…Interesting.”
So, that Icing Recipe is going on the Revision List.

In the end, I made a Fluffy Vegan Buttecream Icing that everyone loved! (Even though this was not as healthy.)

I used the Vegan Basic Vanilla Fluffy Buttercream Frosting from Isa Chandra Moscowitz’ and Terry Hope Romero’s book “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World“. 

You can find the recipe here! The only thing I changed is that I cut the recipe in half. (The recipe makes a LOT of Icing!)

If you need to rationalize eating these Cupcakes: I made the Cupcakes Sugar-free, so the Icing sort of cancels out, right?

I haven’t made Cupcakes in such a long time, so the Icing was a bit on the sloppy side.    The prettiest cupcake I made! (And the one that is going to my Honey’s house!)

The verdict? My boyfriend said, “These are so good!” And the proof? He ate 3⃣ of them! 👍
