¼ cup sugar free maple syrup (or sub honey)
1 (5.3 oz) container yogurt (I like siggi's 2% pumpkin & spice or 0% vanilla)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Dry ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour of choice
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon cream cheese frosting:
4 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese (or dairy free cream cheese), at room temperature
¼ cup light butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar (I used Lakanto powdered) to order: https://bit.ly/3cRLTbg
15% off with the code- JENNSWWJOURNEY
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2-3 teaspoons milk of choice, to make creamy and spreadable
To garnish:
Extra cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Add pumpkin puree, eggs, Lakanto brown sugar, syrup, yogurt, vanilla extract to a large bowl and whisk together until well combined. Finally stir in melted and cooled coconut oil until well combined.
Next, add dry ingredients: flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Mix together with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
To make cinnamon cream cheese frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk together on medium speed for a minute or until smooth. Spread over cooled cake. Sprinkle a little dusting of cinnamon on top to make it extra pretty. Cut the cake into 12 slices and enjoy! Cake should be stored covered in the fridge after a day or so.
