I am all for healthy options, but eeewwww. I will stick with sugar filled sweets for LOs bday. It's only 1 day a year and won't kill her

Yeah, those don't sound good at all...

My favorite cupcakes are Pumpkin Spice. I think it might be a weight watchers recipe, but you take a box of spice cake mix and a can of pure pumpkin purée (no eggs, oil, etc) - mix together and bake as directed on the box.

Easy peasy and healthy-ish

That recipe is a little much for me. I have heard of the ingredients but never seen a lot of them. I would probably have to drive and hour and a half to find most of them.
@credcat7 More power to you if you want to go healthy!

I think it would turn out pretty good. I use agave nectar as a sugar substitute and I like it....I also like to cook with coconut oil (and use as a body moisturizer too!....so many benefits!).
