Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add wet ingredients and stir thoroughly. Add in optional ingredients if desired and stir. Put cupcake liners in a muffin tin or grease with spray.
Fill each muffin cup with batter to the top.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. While mini cakes are baking, whip up cream cheese with stevia drops and vanilla to taste. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water, a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Let cupcakes cool completely before spreading with frosting. Enjoy!
