Are you looking for a tasty cupcake recipe to send with your child to school that isn’t filled with sugar? Me too. Too bad our schools don’t allow home made products sent in to school during parties. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t make a tasty sugar free lemon cupcake for Hayden when he gets out of school. I used NuNaturals PreSweet™ Tagatose instead of sugar for this recipe. PreSweet Tagatose is a naturally-occurring sweetener found in milk, fruits and vegetables. So you get everything that you need without the added “not sugar”taste. Tagatose happens to have the same natural taste as sugar. And its all natural!

I was sent the PreSweet™ Tagatose from NuNaturals.com. Regardless, all opinions of the product are my own.
