The latest edition in our round-up of fall desserts. Apple and Cinnamon Cupcakes. Basically apple pie, in cupcake form. I think we should aspire to transform more desserts into cupcakes.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with 2-Ingredient Fudge Frosting
Gluten-free, refined sugar-free cake with 2-ingredient frosting… are you intrigued?? This recipe came about as a birthday cake for my dad, who is diabetic and can’t have large amounts of refined sugar. Of course it’s also gluten-free and vegan, because what’s the point in making a cake that I can’t eat. Especially chocolate cake. Seriously,…

Chocolate Chai Donuts
These donuts are quite decadent, but not unreasonably so if you leave out the glaze. The donut itself isn’t over the top in terms of sweetness but be forewarned the glaze, does tend make these quite sweet. However in my opinion, even with the glaze they’re not sweeter than your typical chocolate glazed donuts. You…
