High Protein, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Plant-Based

For The Cupcakes

2 cups Cuisine Soleil Organic Protein-Rich Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour

1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder Unsweetened

1 cup Granulated Sugar 

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

½ teaspoon Salt

1 cup Vegan Buttermilk (240ml) 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice + Soy Milk up to the 1 cup (240ml) line

½ cup Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil

1 Tablespoon Distilled White Vinegar

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon Red Gel Food Color

 

For The Vegan Frosting:

4 cups Powdered Sugar 

½ cup Vegan Butter

2 teaspoons Lemon Extract

2-3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line your cupcake tin with liners, and using tin foil, make a heart shape by rolling foil like a short stick and place one on the top of the liner, and two on either end of the bottom. 
  2. Mix flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix together.
  3. Prepare the vegan buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring jug and then adding soy milk up to the 1 cup (240ml) line. Let it curdle into buttermilk.
  4. Add the vegan buttermilk, oil, vinegar, vanilla extract and red gel food color and mix it into a batter. Don't overmix.
  5. Divide the batter between the cupcakes
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, add the powdered sugar, vegan butter, lemon extract and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the bowl of your stand mixer and starting at slow speed gradually increase speed until the frosting is thick and smooth. If needed add more lemon juice.
  9. When the cakes are completely cooled, frost and decorate!

TIP OF THE WEEK

Ah, November, the start of Cold and Flu Season in Canada. Want to know how to stay healthy this Cold and Flu Season? We’ve got a medicine cabinet full of natural cold and flu remedies that can help you to boost your immune system and prevent the flu naturally, or be prepared when sickness strikes! 

 

Wondering What are the Best Vitamins for Cold and Flu Season? 

Vitamin C: Found in many citrus fruits, Vitamin C is a natural immunity booster, and can help prevent the common cold. Vitamin C chews and supplements are all great ways to increase your Vitamin C intake and stay healthy during Cold Season 2021.

 

Vitamin D3: A great supplement to take during cold and flu season, when you don’t have as much exposure to sunlight. A Vitamin D3 supplement can help prevent acute respiratory infections in the winter months, keeping your respiratory system in tip-top shape.

 

Stock up on the Best All-Natural Home Remedies

Here are some of the best foods for preventing a cold and/or getting rid of a cold or flu:

 

Honey: This natural sweetener has antimicrobial properties, making it a top-notch contender when it comes to naturally fighting off viruses. Honey also has a soothing effect, relieving cough and sore throat. Add some honey to hot water and lemon and have honey lemon throat lozenges and throat spray on hand for those days when you need a little immunity boost!

 

Garlic: An ancient home remedy for the cold and flu, garlic is known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Consume raw garlic to maintain a healthy immune system or at the first sign of sickness and incorporate fresh, garlic-rich foods into your diet. 

 

Elderberry: Rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, elderberry is a great natural remedy that can fight off flu viruses. Sip on a tea infused with elderberry and echinacea, and have a natural cold syrup ready for the first signs of sickness this cold season. 

 

Ginger: You might not want to skip out on ginger next time you’re out for sushi! This powerfully potent plant can help to reduce inflammation, soothe a sore throat, and protect against cold viruses. Sip on ginger throat soother or a ginger infused tea, and have ginger chews readily available when the sore throat strikes!

 

Soup: Your grandma wasn’t lying when she said soup would cure your cold! Not only is soup rich in immune-boosting vitamins, it can also help to reduce congestion and soothe a sore throat. Stock up on healthy soups this Winter season, to keep your immune system healthy and strong.
