Frost dried strawberry and lavender muffins

This was supposed to be a Kitchen Aid winning recipe. I should have properly read the terms and conditions and not submit the recipe 8 hours after the submittion deadline (just because I wanted the perfect picture... )

And it was the perfect cupcake according to my taste, chocolate and strawberries, what could possibly go wrong?... 

Well, the ingredients were: 
  • 175g self-raising flour
  • 25g cocoa powder
  • 175 g stevia sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lavender
  • 1 tube freeze dried strawberries
  • 125 ml almond milk
  • 12 small strawberries
  • chocolate frosting
Preparation:
Prepapare the batter as usual (dry ingredients mix in one bowl, butter and egg in the other, and then mixed together) and add the lavender to it- Pour a tablepoon of batter into the cupcake papers and place a small strawberry in the middle of each. Cover the strawberry with batter.

When ready and cooled decorate with chocolate frosting and drizzle with freeze dried strawberries.



It tastes lovely and I love the surprise of biting into an unexpected piece of strawberry... Well no Kitchen Aid for me this time, neither did I get on Hummingbird Bakery's radar with my creation, but this was a nice experiment and I liked it. :)
