1/2 cup Honeyville Organic Coconut Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Sea Salt

1/2 cup Pure Honey (I prefer sage honey due to its mild flavor)

1/4 cup Butter, melted (or coconut oil)

4 large Eggs or 1/2 cup Honeyville Powdered Whole Eggs + 1 cup Water

3 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

1 tbsp, plus 1 tsp fresh organic lemon zest

For Decorating: Honeyville Freeze Dried Blueberries & Strawberries or fresh fruit

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Zest lemons first, then juice them; set aside. (Save one teaspoon of zest for Creamy Lemon Frosting, if using.)

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda and salt.

3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to beat together the honey and melted butter (or coconut oil) until creamy. Then, beat in eggs, lemon juice and zest until well combined.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, blending until batter is smooth and fluffy. (Using an electric hand mixer, or stand mixer, to whip up a fluffy batter is key to making the texture of these cupcakes light and moist.)

5. Spoon batter into a 24-cup mini-muffin tin lined with mini-muffin baking cups, making sure not to overfill the cups.

6. Bake approximately 10-12 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (These mini-cupcakes will not brown, unless over-baked.)

7. Allow cupcakes to cool completely. Then top with Creamy Lemon Frosting, or your own favorite frosting.
8. Arrange the frosted cupcakes into a rectangle and decorate using fresh (or freeze-dried) blueberries and strawberry slices to resemble “Old Glory.” What a delicious and patriotic way to celebrate Memorial Day! Enjoy!
