Tip
Refridgerate icing for at least 1 hour. Once cakes, and icing are completely cooled, pipe onto cupcakes.
These cupcakes are deliciously moist, and improve in flavour and texture with a few hours in the fridge.
Cupcakes can be frozen for use in school lunchboxes. Place any leftover frosting into a reusable squeezable pouch, and freeze. Defrost when required.

Hi, peppermint2 thanks for your feedback. I am glad you like the flavour. I will modify this recipe to stress importance of silicone cupcake moulds, as these would definately would stick in conventional ones. These cupcakes are completely grain free, so the sinking in the middle is a common thing in grain free baking. I coverted them to thermomix, but it was originally from 'neat2eat' blog. They have worked every time for me. With frosting on top they look very pretty. The flavour of these cupcakes is even nicer the 2nd day. Maybe try again, and you could always use less oil.
I wanted to try these to get some sneaky veggies into kids lunchboxes, but they didn't work. I think they can be modified, I'm going to try less coconut oil and SR flour as we are not GF and I'd like them to rise rather than sink in the middle. Didn't make the frosting as they stuck to the tin, admittedly I didn't use silicone moulds as I don't have them, but I don't really think that would have made a difference. We did eat them, flavour is nice,can't taste pumpkin, but they are VERY oily.
