Maple pumpkin pie cupcakes are a must-try holiday treat!
You've had pumpkin pie, and you've had cupcakes, but now it's time to merge the two into one of the most delicious desserts on the planet! Check out this maple pumpkin pie cupcake recipe that is loaded with all the flavors you love, but presented in a slightly different package. If you want to serve up something other than pie this holiday season, then why not give them something that everybody adores? Cupcakes!
The blend of flavors in this dessert is second to none. Pumpkin pie puree, maple and vanilla extract, plus plenty of sweetness makes this recipe come to life. You'll notice that there is absolutely no added sugar in this dessert. Instead, monk fruit sweetener is used to provide that delicious sweetness without the guilt.
Monk fruit is a melon that is native to certain parts of China and Thailand, and it definitely brings the sweetness! It is extracted from the plants and is then either served up as a liquid or a powder. Not only is it incredibly sweet, but it won't raise your blood sugar levels and has virtually no carbs. This is a low carb foodie's dream come true! You can still enjoy dessert without unnecessary carbs or sugar.
Another way that this dessert is kept keto-friendly is because of the type of flour used. No white flour here! Instead, coconut flour is used to provide that same cake-like texture we're so used to but has fewer carbs.
If you're searching for a different way to enjoy the flavors of the season, then consider this delicious treat! It's a terrific option for feeding a crowd since this single recipe makes 12 yummy cupcakes!
Bake this up this holiday season and watch how quickly they disappear. Nobody can resist this amazing blend of flavors!
