Many gluten free baked goods use highly processed white rice flour, which has little nutritional value, and is also high GI causing a spike in blood sugars which will increase unhealthy cravings.
These cupcakes are created with nutrient-dense whole food ingredients that will support your weight loss goals.
You don’t need to be avoiding gluten and dairy to enjoy these scrumptious little cakes. Lovely on their own, they can also be topped with your favorite healthy cupcake frosting or simply drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
