Delicious healthy lemon cupcakes that are low fat and topped with a low sugar vanilla icing.
You can find more indulgent lemon drizzle cupakes here.
I am currently experimenting with a number of alternative ingredients for lemon drizzle cupcakes/muffins as I believe there must be healthier combinations.
My first attempt wasn't so great.
I had read that it was fine to use a vegetable purée as an alternative to butter and thought I would soften and caramelise a pink onion.
The concept would have been fantastic as a savoury lemon and parmesan treat but that was not what I wanted. I also realised that when eliminating every bit of fat, it was far too tough/spongy like a bouncy ball.
