For The Strawberry Cupcakes
2
cups

½
cup
pistachios
unsalted, finely ground
½
cup
apple sauce
3
Tbsp
vegetable oil
1/4
cup
water
+ 2 Tbsp more
1
tsp
maple syrup
For The Frosting
1

confectioners sugar
I used vegan sugar
1

drops

Tbsp

2
tsp
pumpkin spice
2
strawberries
finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place cake mix in a bowl and add the pistachios
Add the apple sauce (or
aquafaba
), vegetable oil and water. If it feels too dry, add 2 Tbsp of water
Add maple syrup and mix everything
Line cupcake tray with cupcake liners. This will make about 20 cupcakes
Fill up the cupcakes liners with the strawberry mixture. I filled up about half way
Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until they past the knife test
Remove from the oven and let them cool
While the cupcakes are in the oven, prepare the frosting.
I used my
vegan buttercream frosting recipe
. Instead of the food coloring, I put 2 tsp of pumpkin spice
Only frost these strawberry cupcakes when you are ready to serve
Notes
For the cake mix, I used the whole bag of the mix but didn't use any of the frosting that came with it.
