Do you think there's any way to make this using agave syrup? I don't eat refined sugars.

This cupcake was the best ever!
My husband asked if he could have one, he thought it was delicious. He ate most of them.
I did make myself a note to not leave them out….keep in refrigerator or freeze until you want one.
