Ingredients
1Nectarine
1Gluten-Free Pillsbury Vanilla Cake Mix
1Buttercream or White FrostingSome are Dairy Free
Instructions
Bake the cupcakes according to the directions located on the cake mix box.
While the cupcakes are baking, slice the nectarine and place it in a food processor to be finally chopped. Make sure there are no large chunks. If you want a thinner frosting as shown in the photos, add just a dash of unsweetened almond milk to your nectarines and mix together in food processor.
Place desired frosting in a bowl and pour nectarine mixture over the top. Stir well. If the frosting is a little too thin (if you added the almond milk) place in the freezer for a few minutes to thicken.
Once cupcakes are finished cooking - allow them to cool before adding the frosting.
If you have a frosting bag handy or even a Ziploc baggy, place your frosting inside and top the cupcakes generously. Add a small slice of nectarine if desired, for garnish.
