Ingredients
  

Strawberry Puree

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

Strawberry Cupcake Ingredients

  • 1 cup homemade strawberry puree
  • ¼ cup melted butter regular or vegan
  • 1 cup milk regular or plant-based
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
  • strawberries for topping

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese regular or vegan
  • 4 tablespoon softened butter regular or vegan
  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Strawberry Puree Instructions

  • Bring a small saucepan to medium heat. Add the strawberries and cook, stirring, until tender (about 2-3 minutes). Use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend into a puree. You should have about ¾-1 cup of puree. Allow it to cool before using.

Strawberry Cupcakes Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line 14-16 cupcake molds with paper liners and then lightly spray them with non-stick baking spray.
  • Mix the strawberry puree, melted butter, milk, sugar, baking soda, baking power, and vanilla together. Then, add the flour and mix until a batter forms. Fill each cupcake mold with the batter until it's about ⅔ full. You should be able to fill about 14-16 molds.
  • Bake the strawberry cupcakes for about 25-30 minutes or until they have completely risen and are golden on top.

Making The Cream Cheese Frosting

  • While the strawberry cupcakes bake, mix the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to make the cream cheese frosting. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. Top with strawberries and enjoy.
