Archetype: The Celebrant — hearth-sweet roots lifted into airy cakes, crowned with tangy cream; a festival you can hold in one hand.

🥣 What It Is

Moist, tender cupcakes made with roasted sweet potato and warm spice, sweetened with monkfruit/allulose. Finished with a light cream-cheese (or cashew) frosting for a classic, sugar-free celebration.

🧾 Ingredients (12 cupcakes)

• Dry: 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour, 1/2 cup oat flour (or GF blend), 2 tbsp coconut flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp fine salt
• Spice: 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Wet: 1 cup very smooth roasted sweet potato purée (240 g), 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs), 1/3 cup neutral oil or melted coconut oil, 1/3–1/2 cup allulose/monkfruit blend, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant)
• Optional mix-ins: 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/4 cup SF mini chips

SF Frosting (choose one)

• Light Cream Cheese: 6 oz cream cheese (soft), 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 3–4 tbsp powdered allulose/monkfruit, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt
• Cashew Cloud (DF): 1 cup soaked cashews (drained), 2–3 tbsp powdered SF sweetener, 2–3 tbsp coconut cream, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt

✍️ Method (35–40 min)

1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Whisk dry + spice in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk wet until silky.
3. Fold dry into wet just to combine; stir in nuts/chips if using. Divide batter (about 3/4 full each).
4. Bake 18–22 min until tops spring back and a tester shows moist crumbs. Cool completely.
5. Frosting: Beat chosen frosting until fluffy 1–2 min. Pipe or spread on cooled cupcakes; dust with cinnamon.

🌿 Maker’s Notes

• Texture = 100/100: Purée must be ultra-smooth; don’t overbake.
• Sweetness dial: Start at 1/3 cup sweetener; taste batter and adjust.
• Storage: Chill airtight up to 4 days; flavors bloom on day 2.
