Instructions
Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C; line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
Mix almond flour, HLTH Code Creamy Vanilla, salt, baking powder, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Whisk eggs, butter, and pumpkin puree in a bowl until combined; pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until well-combined.
Fill the cups with batter (about two-thirds full) and bake for about 22 minutes, or until a cake tester or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and set aside to cool completely.
Frosting
Whisk together heavy cream, cream cheese, and butter in a large bowl; add HLTH Code Creamy Vanilla, pumpkin puree, and sweetener, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Frost the cooled cupcakes; store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
