If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the post last week that featured these fun, spring-themed, low sugar cupcakes. If you didn't see it, you're in luck, because I'm going to share the recipe low! These cupcakes are make with monk fruit (a 100% natural sweetener with zero net carbs and zero calories that tastes like - and bakes like - sugar. I don't usually use sweeteners other than sugar in recipes, but I wanted to give this a try and I'm so glad I did. They turned out so well, and I can't wait to make them again.
