This paleo recipe has a little bit of everything. It has some fiber, flavor, awesome texture, a hint of spice and is a little healthy secret indulgence, and now OUR little secret. I am now into the baking season and recipes are something I dream about and devise in my sleep. Cookbooks are always calling me and many talented gluten free and paleo authors are my dearest inspiration. This “hidden fiber holiday spice cupcake” recipe lacks the dreadful grains, loads of sugars and dairy and yet SO does not at all lack flavor, texture or smiles from your guests.
I have been using paleo-friendly nut butters for ages and when I came across Sweet Spreads with their various nut butter flavors, I had a whole new opportunity open up in my recipe developing. As you know, I am always up for something new and these butters are adding an element of surprise to my testing and outcome.
Please do not be confined to ONLY using Sweet Spreads as you really can use any fresh nut butter and even make your own, yet it will not have the exact taste I accomplished in the below recipe. Sweet Spreads truly is a delicious addition to my pantry.
