Instructions

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350F, and line 6 cupcakes with cupcake liners. Make sure the strawberry puree is prepped and ready!
Whisk: In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, dairy free yogurt, strawberry puree, sugar, and vanilla extract. Then add in the sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and whisk to fully integrate. Finally, add in the flour and pour in the dairy free milk as you whisk to combine the ingredients, JUST until the flour is fully incorporated into the batter.
Scoop: Fill each of the cupcake liners about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake: Place the cupcakes into the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool fully before frosting.
Make the frosting: When ready to frost, make the strawberry buttercream according to instructions. Fill a piping bag with tip with the frosting, and frost each cupcake.
Serve and enjoy! Serve each cupcake, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Gluten free: I love using King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten free flour for gluten free here.

Strawberry puree: This is just strawberries pureed together- 60 g of fresh strawberries = 60 g of strawberry puree. I like to puree an entire 12 ounce container of strawberries, because I can then use the remaining puree for my 4 ingredient strawberry ice cream!
