Equipment

Ingredients

4 cup Almond flour
3/4 cup Arrowroot
1/4 cup Cacao powder not Dutch
1 cup Allulosse or coconut sugar
1 tbsp Baking powder
4 tbsp Beet powder
1/2 cup Apple sauce
2 tbsp Vanilla extract

1/4 cup Plant milk or more if necessary
4 Eggs

Cream cheese frosting

8 oz Cream cheese
4 oz Butter softened
1 tbsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Allulosse

Instructions

Mix your dry ingredients in one bowl so everything is evenly distributed.
2. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until smooth. When combined, the batter should be thick but scoopable.
3. Scoop into a lined muffin tin, bake for 45 minutes at 350°F or until set in the center.
4. Let them cool completely before frosting if you're going that route.

Cream cheese frosting

1. Beat room-temperature cream cheese and butter until smooth.
2. Add allulose and vanilla, then mix until creamy and fluffy.
3. Chill briefly if too soft, and spread on completely cooled muffins or cupcakes.
