Dry
 0.50 cup whole wheat flour
 0.50 cup all purpose flour
 0.50 tsp baking soda
 0.50 tsp salt
Wet
 1 egg
 0.38 cup white sugar
 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
 1 tbsp vanilla extract
 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Frosting
 1 cup powdered sugar
 1 tbsp melted butter
 0.50 tsp vanilla extract
 0.50 tbsp hot water
Optional Decorations
 10 crush oreos + 3 extra oreos for spiders
 1 large Twizzlers rope (one that you can untangle)
 6 mini m&ms (pairs of the same color)
 3 mint milano cookies
 3 fudge stripe cookies
 3 Hershey's kisses
 3 plastic spiders
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 count muffin tin with liners or spray with baking spray.

2

Mix all the dry ingredients together (flours, baking soda, and salt) and set aside.

3

Cream together the sugar, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Add the nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. Mix until mixture is smooth.

4

Add in wet ingredients in step 3 to dry ingredients in step 2. Fold together until no dry flour is left. Be careful to not over mix.

5

Add the cupcake batter to the muffin tray, filling each muffin liner about two thirds of the way to the top. Bake for about 20 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Take out and cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.

6

For the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and hot water. If you would like a runnier consistency, add more hot water.

7

For decorating the cupcakes, frost the cupcakes first and then roll them in the crushed Oreos. This will be your base for all the decorations. Add a plastic spider for an easy Halloween decorated cupcake. For the Oreo spider cupcake, take the top off the Oreo, make the legs out of the Twizzlers, and finally add eyes on the top with m&ms. For the bat decoration, add a Hershey's kiss to the top, split the fudge stripes cookie evenly in half, and place in the back of the Hershey's kiss. Finally for the tombstone cupcake, write RIP on the top of mint milano cookies and place in the middle of the cupcakes. Finally enjoy!
