Ingredients

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

2 Quest Pumpkin Pie Bars 2 tbsp almond milk 1 ½ cup almond flour ⅓ cup zero calorie sweetener 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice ¼ tsp salt ½ cup pumpkin puree ¼ cup coconut oil 3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

½ cup chocolate ½ tsp coconut oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a muffin pan with 10 liners. Chop the Quest Bars into small pieces and place them into a microwave safe bowl, reserving ¼ of them. In the bowl, add the almond milk and microwave on high for 15 seconds and then stir until smooth. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a batter forms. Distribute the batter between the liners and bake for 18-22 minutes. Let cool. Once cool, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth and spoon chocolate over the tops of each cupcake. Finish with remaining Pumpkin Bar pieces.
