Vanilla Cupcakes
Cupcakes are associated with celebrations or treats and often they are loaded with lots of sugar and other nasty ingredients, so why not make them a little healthier.
I have used monk fruit - which is a natural sweetener in these to reduce the amount of other sugar required. Monk fruit works really well in baked goods and doesn't leave an after taste.

Recipe Notes
- Enjoy as is, or you can make a little icing to go on top. If making icing use xylitol icing sugar or using some nut butter and coconut cream to create some icing.
