How to Make Diabetic Gingerbread Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia), buttermilk, molasses, water, and egg substitute until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
