    As promised, I’m sharing more “spooktacular” halloween treats! Did you get a chance to check out the mummy cookies that I shared last week? Totally adorable and not too scary. I have to thank pinterest for always inspiring me to get creative during the holidays. There are so many fabulous halloween tricks and treats out there. Be sure to follow me on pinterest, where I’ll be sharing all of my most recent and favorite recipes!

    These ghost cupcakes are the easiest allergen-free halloween treat EVER. All I did was take my chocolate cupcake recipe, top with fluffy vanilla buttercream and add two chocolate eyes. I told you they were easy. These little ghosts are far from spooky. They’re just a simple way to take a gluten free vegan cupcake from ordinary to frightfully cute!

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners. Sift together flour blend, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, stir together coconut milk, water and vinegar, until slightly curdled. Add sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in flour mixture. Mix for 1 minute, until combined.

      I'm in the UK & I'm not sure which type of coconut milk is needed, can or chilled/long life carton? Also I'm guessing I can use non glutton free flour!
