These Cranberry Cashew Cupcakes are perfect for the holiday season! The sweet and nutty cake with tart cranberries is a heavenly combination. And of course, cream cheese frosting makes every cupcake better! The secret ingredient to these cupcakes? Silk’s new Cashewmilk!

I hopped on board the Silk Almondmilk train a few months ago when I decided to do a green smoothie every day. But now Silk just came out with Cashewmilk and I love it! Let me tell you, this stuff is so creamy! It’s perfect for smoothies, baking and even hot chocolate!

You can always substitute Silk milks where a cake recipe (or muffin recipe) calls for water or milk! The Cashewmilk is fabulous because the unsweetened version only has 25 calories a serving! I don’t know about you, but I seem to get more and more treats showing up on my doorstep and I’m looking to cut calories where I can to make up for the extra late night cookie 🙂
