Back to school cupcakes!
Gluten free, dye free, paleo friendly back to school cupcakes (minus the optional sprinkles)!
These cupcakes are a fun way to get your kiddos in back to school mode, or would make a super cute treat for an after school snack the first week!
Made with my homemade gummy worms which only require 3 ingredients to make! Our family LOVES homemade gummies.
If you haven’t tried, you should check out a few of our favorite homemade gummy recipes! Sweetened with real fruit and the grass fed beef gelatin is a great source of protein, glycine, and amino acids!
Yes all of these gummies make for an amazing back to school snack, too! They do need to stay chilled, so either wrap your childs snack pack or lunch box in an ice pack, or save for their after school snack!
