Description

I made these today to take to a family BBQ so I wouldn't be tempted by the "real" cake..and oh my goodness! They were so good!

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1⁄2 c Flax Meal
  • 2 T cocoa powder
  • 1⁄4 c heavy cream
  • 1 t Baking Powder
  • 1⁄8 t stevia powder
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1⁄8 t vanilla
  • 1 ds stevia to taste
  • 2 T pb2 powdered peanut butter

Instructions

Mix everything except the frosting ingredients (cream cheese, powdered peanut butter and dash stevia) together until smooth.

  • Fill 6 muffin tins (sprayed with nonstick spray)
  • This will be enough batter to fill 6 muffin openings almost half full.
  • Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or so or until they are done.
  • Set aside to cool.

Mix all frosting ingredients together until it's the consistency of frosting.
At this point I put each cupcake in a paper cupcake liner before I frosted them.
Frost each cupcake with a portion of the frosting.
