I made these yummy GFCFSFYF Gluten free, Casein free, Soy free and Yeast free) Vanilla Spice cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting for Liam's classroom on Thursday, they turned out really well!
I used Pamelas Vanilla Cake mix, and mixed in 1 1/2 TBS of Pumpkin Pie spice which essentially is just a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
I followed the instructions on the bag for cupcakes.
For the frosting I used the following ingredients:
1/2 C coconut butter (which is soooooooo good, i love it and use it with many things in place of butter)1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp almond/coconut milk (this is what we use in our house as our everyday milk. Jason is the only one who still uses cow milk for his morning oatmeal, even the babies drink this as their regular milk in their bottles. So much healthier! And no hormones and weird processed junk!)
To make the frosting use a stand mixer or hand mixer.Beat the butter at a medium-high speed.
Add the cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and beat until it’s creamy smooth, scrape the sides as needed. Add the milk little by little to see if it needs more or less liquid. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes or more.Frost once cupcakes are cool. I also added a few dashes of colored sugar (which i normally avoid due to food coloring not being very good for you, but i wanted to make them more festive and had some on hand. To each their own!)
You can find all of the gfcf ingredients i used at your local grocery store, in the health food (or should i say real food lol) section.
Enjoy!
Love and light,
A
