- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum

- 1¼ tsp English Toffee-Flavored Stevia Extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cupcake tin with parchment paper liners (make sure to use parchment liners, not paper liners, because paper liners might stick!)

- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, vanilla paste, stevia, and butter flavor.
- Dump the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients and whisk until everything is incorporated and any clumps are gone.
- Scoop batter into the prepared cupcake tin, then bake for ~27 minutes, or until surface of cupcakes spring back when tapped. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Frost with your frosting of choice, then serve and enjoy!
