I was looking for a recipe for my son for yummy cupcakes and I could not find any that were GF or sugar free, or all natural that he enjoyed. I finally came up with this recipe along with frosting. He LOVES the cupcakes. I also use this recipe to make birthday cakes. —Annmarie Rung

I am always expertimenting with different varaitions of frosting.
2 c macadamia nut butter(homemade). Just put nuts in food processor for 5 mnutes. At first the nuts will clump and then you will see the oil starting to come out of the nuts and it will turn to nut butter. Then, add the nut butter to 4 T raw honey & 2 tsp water…blend.
So many different variations. You could add dates and pulse chop until mixed. or add shredded apples and pulse chop for a few seconds. You can even change the color of the frosting by adding beet juice or veggie juice . Then…. Frost the cake and garnish with edible flowers, and/or dried coconut, strawberries….or whatever your heart desires.
Enjoy!
