Pouding Chômeur Cupcakes | Vegan, No Wheat, No Cane Sugar | Guest Post

Welcome to a special edition of Wheatless Wednesday! I am so excited today to host my first guest contributor on eyecandypopper.com! 🙂 It’s a nice way to discover other great bloggers that I enjoy reading, and that I think you will enjoy too. Today is Sharon from The Honour System, a blog I spoke about in the past. She’s a fellow Canadian who is passionate about inspiring others to cook from scratch and use healthy and organic foods. I also had the pleasure of meeting her in person last month, and she is just as lovely in person as online. She’s created this very special recipe just for us today, how awesome is that?!

For plenty more healthy and delicious real food recipes, go check out The Honour System.

Enjoy!

Well, hello! You may be wondering who I am and where is Miss ECP? I believe your lovely host here at Eyecandypopper and my bosom blog buddy, has taken a little vay-cay. She’s asked me to step in to keep you all entertained while she relaxes so here I am!

I’m Sharon and I publish a website called The Honour System. Much like eyecandypopper.com, I focus on quality, whole food ingredients when I cook or bake, which happens to be a lot. I share my recipes along with step by step images to inspire the inner healthy chef in all of us. I’d love for you to visit. 🙂

So, considering Miss ECP is from beautiful Quebec, I thought I’d make a classic French-Canadian recipe, but give it the Honour System treatment, of course.

Pouding Chomeur is translated to “Poor Man’s Pudding” although nothing about it is poor. It’s rich and decadent and by making a few swaps by using coconut oil instead of butter and spelt flour over the white stuff this dessert becomes much less guilt inducing. Splitting them into cupcakes helps with portion control. I love to bake. However, my family is small with only three in our household, one of those being our cat who isn’t partaking in the goods so; I do a lot of sharing. Needless to say, I’m popular at work. 😉
