Gosh, I forgot about coworkers!!! That's a very good idea.... ! I guess I can start baking cookies too from now on! Have been shying away from that for the exact reason.</p> <p>@jhd: Thanks!</p> <p>Anyone else? A go-to birthday cupcake recipe?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665962 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:08:10 +0000 jhd 2665962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our family loves Paula Deen's pound cake. I made it for LO's first birthday and served it with fruit. Several bees recommended it.</p> <p>ETA this is if you are ok with a not healthy option. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665744 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:58:22 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2665744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: have your husband bring it to work if the test turns out good and if it turns out bad, toss it. I always want to bring my baked goods to work so my young skinny co workers can eat it and not me! If not work, maybe a homeless shelter or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665729 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:33:43 +0000 irene 2665729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Adira: @ShootingStar: @mamainthesun: OK scratch that, what about the best birthday cupcake recipe with no restrictions??? :P </p> <p>The whole reason I want it to be "healthy" is I do need to make a batch to see if it is good before the big day. I don't want to make it and make my family and myself eat it... I guess I'll give it to my neighbors LOL</p> <p>@Adira: Yeah but substitution is going to come out different, sometimes failure. I just don't want to waste a lot of ingredient for a sub-par cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665692 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:54:28 +0000 looch 2665692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do a wacky cake, it has no butter or eggs, but it does have flour and sugar...you could sub maple syrup for sugar.</p> <p>Or you can do a flourless cake, but that is going to have eggs and sugar. I think you can substitute cornstarch and water for eggs, I've done it before, but never in a flourless cake.</p> <p>Or you can do a tart...it doesn't have to be a cake, correct? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665687 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:38:39 +0000 Adira 2665687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a cake that uses maple syrup instead of sugar. You could also sub the white flour for whole wheat flour.</p> <p><a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/maple-chocolate-cake-56389419" rel="nofollow">http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/maple-chocolate-cake-56389419</a></p> <p>I've never made it before though, so I have no idea if it's any good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665671 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:13:31 +0000 ShootingStar 2665671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really see the point in making a "healthy" cake. They're all going to have sugar in them. Carrot cake has a ton of unhealthy ingredients. Might as well make a normal cake, let everyone enjoy a slice or two, and then get rid of the rest if there's any left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665661 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 09:52:55 +0000 mamainthesun 2665661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the banana honey cake recipe they have here on the bee. I think it's called healthy smash cake. Don't have time to find the link sorry! But both adults and kids loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665618 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 08:55:45 +0000 Adira 2665618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Could you just substitute regular flour for the almond flour in your recipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wanted-best-healthy-birthday-cakecupcake-recipe-in-the-world#post-2665614 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 08:47:51 +0000 irene 2665614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have the best birthday cupcake recipe ever that you don't mind to share? Preferrably "healthy" -- as in, with limited butter and white sugar, or better yet, has healthy substitions? :P ?</p> <p>I have the BEST almond flour zucchini chocolate bread/cake recipe that I can make into cupcakes/muffins, but obviously that is not nut-free. I have another oat flour one that I make all the time, but then I kinda don't want to make birthday "muffins" you know! </p> <p>I never bake cupcakes because I don't want to make a bunch of goodies with tons of butter, cream and sugar, and I know I would stuff my face with it too. So I don't have much experience in that. Do you have anything you can share? We can even do a carrot cake. Please let me know :) </p>
