Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line or lightly grease 10 muffin cups of a muffin pan
In a large mixer bowl sift or whisk together the dry ingredients until no lumps are in the dry ingredients
Add the eggs. Beat on low 10 seconds to moisten the dry ingredients. Increase speed to medium-low.. Beat on medium-low about 30 seconds or until fully combined
Add the butter, oil, vanilla extract. and the milk. Beat on low about 10 seconds to break up the butter. Increase speed to medium. Beat on medium about 30 seconds or until fully combined and a smooth batter has formed
Fold in the puree or jam a couple tablespoons at a time until fully combined. For a stronger strawberry flavor fold in desired amount of strawberry extract. (start with 1/2 teaspoon and work up to desired taste) For a pink tint to the cupcakes fold in a few drops of red or pink food coloring
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups (a little over 1/4 cup of batter in each cup) Use a butter knife or small spatula and spread the batter evenly throughout each muffin cup. Make sure the top of each cupcake is smooth and even
Place in preheated oven.. Bake at 350 degrees 15-20 minutes or until golden and a tester comes out clean
Remove from the oven. Cupcakes will be soft but will firm up as they cool. Allow to cool in the pan about 20 minutes or until firm enough to transfer to a wire rack
Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting
Notes
1 cupcake with cream cheese frosting contains about 3 grams of net carbs when using coconut milk as the milk of choice
