Directions for Baking the Cupkins
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Mix dry ingredients.
- Mix all of the wet ingredients, except for the eggs, in a blender.
- Whisk eggs into the rest of the wet ingredients (not in the blender).
- Stir wet and dry ingredients together until all the lumpies are out.
- Pour into prepared cupcake pan, dividing batter evenly amongst 12 cupcakes.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Directions for the Frosting
- Fluff coconut oil together with a splash of vanilla, a tiny dash of salt, and a few drops of liquid stevia (sweeten to taste).
- Spread thinly onto cooled cupkins.
- Garnish with crushed freeze dried strawberries.
Notes
- If you eat stevia regularly, you may need 1/4 tsp stevia instead of 1/8 teaspoon stevia in the cupkin batter.
- Works wonderfully for both fresh and frozen strawberries.
- Remember to use organic strawberries, due to the high pesticide content of conventionally grown strawberries.
- If you want them to taste sweeter, add a tablespoon or two of honey to the wet ingredients.
