For the cupcakes:

  • Preheat your oven to 350. I suggest using silicone muffin liners as paper ones will stick to the cupcake. Mix all dry ingredients, then mix in all wet ingredients. Divide the batter into 8 cupcakes. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.

For the frosting:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a handheld mixer until a frosting consistency forms.

To garnish:

  • Frost with a piping bag or spoon and place the rosemary sprigs upside down. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds to add a fun touch. ENJOY!

Notes

Place the cupcakes in the fridge for up to a week. I suggest waiting to frost them prior to eating.
