Cook Time 17 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Yield 6 - 7 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp oil, or applesauce or mashed banana for fat free
  • zest of one lemon (important)
  • 1 cup spelt, white, or oat flour (a keto option is mentioned above)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar, unrefined if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cupcake pan. Whisk first four ingredients and let sit at least ten minutes. You can stir together all remaining ingredients while you wait. Combine all ingredients to form a batter. Portion into the lined pan, only filling 2/3 of the way up because they'll rise. Bake 17 minutes on the center rack. Let cool. These are even sweeter the next day, and the liners peel off easily if they sit a day as well.
