Candy Corn Cupcakes
Candy Corn Cupcakes are a festive treat but are high in sugar and calories. To make them a bit healthier, consider using whole wheat pastry flour for half of the all-purpose flour to add some fiber. You could also experiment with natural food coloring alternatives like turmeric for yellow and carrot juice for orange. Reducing the sugar content in both the cupcakes and frosting can help lower the overall sugar intake. For a healthier frosting alternative, consider using Greek yogurt mixed with a small amount of powdered sugar and natural food coloring. Remember, these cupcakes are meant to be an occasional treat, not a regular part of a balanced diet. Enjoy them in moderation as part of Halloween celebrations, and consider balancing your diet by pairing a small cupcake with some fresh fruit or a handful of nuts for added nutrients.
