Directions:

- Spoon the batter into each well of the cupcake tin. Fill them about 3/4 of the way. They don't rise much.

Frosting recommendations: Cinnamon Vanilla, Cream cheese vanilla, maple cream cheese, caramel pecan. A powdered erythritol is a great option if you want to make a sugar free frosting!
