Trying to get healthy this year? Inspired by one of 2015's biggest fad diets, these cupcakes are a healthier alternative to beat those sweet cravings!Subscribe to The Scran Line: http://taste.md/1NAKpgsINGREDIENTSFor the cupcakes (makes 12): 271g (2½ cups) blanched almond flour¾ teaspoon baking soda¼ teaspoon sea salt160ml (⅔ cup) honey80ml (⅓ cup) coconut oil, melted4 large eggs, room temperature1 tablespoon lemon juice2 teaspoons vanilla extract½ teaspoon lemon zest½ cup chopped strawberriesFreeze dried strawberries (for decoration)For the frosting: 2 egg whites, room temperature⅓ cup honey¼ teaspoon lemon juice or vinegarRECIPE For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 160C (325F)Add the almond flour, baking soda and salt to a large mixing bowl until well combined.Combine the honey, coconut oil, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon zest in a large jug and whisk until well combined.Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until everything is well combined. Stop your mixer, scrape down the bowl and mix for a final 20 seconds on low speed.Place a tbsp of chopped strawberries in each cupcake liner, and scoop the batter just below full. This batter doesn’t rise very much and is quite moist and dense.Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into the middle and comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on the counter before frosting.For the frosting:Once the cupcakes have cooled, make your Italian meringue. Bring your honey to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and lemon juice until frothy and you can just begin to see trail marks from your beaters. When you lift out the beaters, you should see soft peaks.With the beaters or mixer running, slowly pour in the boiling honey in a steady stream. Continue beating for 6-8 minutes, until the meringue is cool to the touch.Frost your cupcakes using a round tip and pipe in a swirl motion and top with some freeze dried or fresh strawberries.Some extra tips:- For easier separation, separate the whites from the yolks when they are cold.- Meringue will not stiffen if you use a dirty bowl (usually because of leftover oil) or if you let any of the yolk get in with the whites- Over beating will cause the meringue to fall. Stop once you can lift the beaters out and see stiff peaks.- The frosting needs to be piped immediately and is best served immediately as well. Once it’s on the cupcakes though, it will hold up in the refrigerator for 24 hours.___Follow us!
