Recipe: Cinnamon and Pumpkin Cupcakes

By The Green Parent

30th October 2013

On top of all the fun festive crafts we’ve been getting stuck into this year, I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with a little gluten free festive baking. A little trial run for the Christmas festivities, perhaps. My latest passion is flavour combinations and my new favourite autumnal flavours are cinnamon and pumpkin in both sweet and savoury dishes. These cupcakes are a big hit in this house and I’ll be very sad when it’s no longer pumpkin seasons!
