Ingredients

3 cups freeze dried strawberries
1 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
2 large eggs
3/4 cup honey or white sugar
1 cup high-quality strawberry jam
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup milk

STRAWBERRY FROSTING
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup salted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2-3 cups powdered sugar

2 scoops of strawberry flavoured protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup warm milk

Instructions

In a blender, food processor or by hand, crush the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder.
Preheat oven to 350° F/180°C. Line cupcake molds with paper liners.
In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, yogurt, eggs, sugar, 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.
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.
To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese until whipped. Add the butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, protein powder, 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.
Frost each cupcake with crushed freeze dried strawberries and enjoy!
