These blueberry cupcakes are deliciously dense, moist, and topped with the creamiest lemon frosting. If you’re looking for the perfect summer cupcake look no further. The fresh blend of blueberries and lemon is delicious. Nothing beats the combination of tart lemon with sweet, juicy blueberries.
I’m going to double dare you to only eat one. True story: When I made these the first time, I ate three in a row. I have a bit of an issue with self control, but I promise, they’re just that good {I’ll be so impressed if you’re able to eat just one}.
I needed to whip up some cupcakes, and decided Birchbenders Paleo Pancake Mix to would be fun to use as my base. And since I’m an advocate of using as few ingredients as possible, the pancake mix was the perfect solution.
We love using Birchbenders pancake mixes for breakfast because of their simple ingredient and easy directions. You just add water and stir. How easy is that? I keep a bag in the pantry for those extra busy mornings. And my girls devour them every time. If you haven’t tried them yet you can snag them here.
These cupcakes are gluten-free, refined sugar free, and mostly paleo. The frosting isn’t, but who’s really noticing?! Go ahead and enjoy because these are worth it.
And if blueberries are too expensive or out of season, you can substitute frozen organic blueberries. They’re cheaper, and for this recipe, it really doesn’t matter if they’re fresh or frozen.
