Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Powdered erythritol (for icing)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the icing, whisk together the powdered erythritol, fresh orange juice, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust the consistency with more powdered erythritol or juice as needed.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, drizzle the citrus icing over the tops of each cupcake.
Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Flat Belly Diet Lemon Cupcakes with Citrus Icing!
