Equipment

  • 1 Muffin Pan
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients


Cupcake:

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 tablespoons 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut-almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 3/4 cups frozen or fresh blueberries


Maple Buttercream Frosting:

  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

Cupcake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners and spray with organic baking spray.
  • Sift flour and next 4 ingredients into large bowl.
  • Add melted butter, oil, eggs, sugar and whisk to blend. Add yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon peel stir to blend.
  • Pour flour mix into wet mix and whisk until completely blended.
  • Stir in blueberries gently.
  • Use 2" scoop to fill up each muffin tin.
  • Bake cupcakes 22-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes to racks to cool.

Maple Buttercream Frosting:

  • Add butter to an electric mixer and beat butter on high until creamed about 5 minutes.
  • Lower speed of mixer to slow and slowly add confectioners sugar.
  • When completely blended add maple syrup and increase mixer speed to high. Blend for 30 seconds - 1 minute until incorporated. This is a stiff frosting, but if it is too thick add a dash (1 tablespoon) cream or milk to thin.
