Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

  • 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raspberries chopped

For the Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then stir in the chopped raspberries. Line a muffin tin with paper baking cups and pour about 1/3 cup of batter into each cup. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Place the cupcakes on a rack to cool.
  • To make the frosting, puree the raspberries using an immersion blender or food processor. Strain the raspberries using a mesh strainer. Set the raspberry juice aside.
  • Place the butter in a large bowl, and beat using a hand mixer until fluffy. Then blend in the powdered sugar and raspberry juice. If the frosting is too thick, add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time. When ready to frost, fill a piping bag with a tip and pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
