Pumpkin Spice. Caramel Drizzled. Chocolate Chip Cupcakes. Hello!
If you know me then you know fall is my favorite season. What a great time for food and fashion! Nothing gets me into my foodie creative mode quite like a good Trader Joe’s run (I practically live there). The sights and smells never fail to get my mental gears turning, thinking of interesting things to cook up or new challenges to take on. My 2nd most effective brainstorming time? Those looong nights where Saleh just can’t stay asleep on his own. The idea for this recipe was a product of one of those late nights. The name may be a mouthful, but it’s a surprisingly simple recipe. Just two bowls, a whisk, and some basic ingredients. Featuring my favorite Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting recipe as well as some irresistible Salted Caramel Sauce. Did I mention these were made with einkorn flour and organic coconut sugar? Cupcakes can be healthy, right? At least that’s what I tell myself as I reach for my third… Haha. But seriously, little things like using einkorn flour and organic ingredients can make a big difference in the nutritional value of your cooking.
