Instructions
- 1. In a blender or food processor, process the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line cupcake molds with paper liners.
- 3. In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, yogurt, eggs, honey, strawberry jam, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add about 2/3 of the strawberry powder (save the remainder for the frosting). Mix until just combined, then slowly beat in the milk until fully combined.
- 4. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake 25-30 minutes, until the tops are just set, and no longer wiggly in the center. Remove and let cool.
- 5. To make the frosting: In a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese until whipped. Add the butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, remaining strawberry powder (about 3 tablespoons), and vanilla. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, then slowly stream in the milk until your desired consistency is reached, you may not use it all.
- 6. Frost each cupcake with crushed freeze dried strawberries + chamomile flowers if you have them!
