Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Line a 6-count muffin tray with 6 cupcake liners and set aside.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and 0 calorie brown sugar until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla, whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice and salt, whisk until well combined.

  • Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions:

*0 calorie brown sugar - can be subbed for any 0 calorie granulated sweetener. The sweetener I used is a 1:1 ratio of sweetener to sugar. 
*Self-raising flour - can be subbed for plain/all-purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio with the addition of 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda and a pinch of salt. 
*0 calorie powdered sweetener - can be subbed for an equal amount of regular powdered/icing sugar but the calories will increase. You can also make your own by blitzing granulated sweetener in a food processor until fine and powdered.
