I get so frustrated listening to these so-called ''experts" on nutrition. It's a recipe, and reviews are what they are, reviews. I love reading reviews to see variations of recipes, not somebodys tirade on sugar, salt, fat etc. I think those comments should be banned. It's not right that they downgrade a recipe to 1 star or none when they haven't even made it. If people don't like the ingredients, move on to the next recipe. I have a few foods I don't like, so does everybody else, that doesn't make me downgrade a recipe because maybe I don't like one ingredient. Why can't we stick to a review. If you didn't make the recipe, then you have no business writing a review. I rest my case.

These were delicious! Only changes I made was that I used 1 cup of drained canned pineapple and added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the frosting. It made about 36 cupcakes and the frosting was the perfect amount for the recipe. Everyone loved them, will def make again!

made it as written. It looked like a great recipe and wanted to share it so baked 18 reg. size and 48 minis. Took the minis to our women's group at church and they all wanted the recipe. Wanted seconds, but will have to bake their own! These are easy and delicious!
