Blender cupcake batter

So what is my magic formula to make these healthy orange cupcakes low-carb and lower in fruit sugars? By keeping the peel on the orange.

Yes, you read that right, you add the orange peel’n’all.

The incredibly strong orange flavours and orange essential oils in the skin are what give these amazing healthy sugar-free orange cupcakes their incredible punch of flavour and so, therefore, requires only 1 orange!

GENIUS!

Making the cupcake batter is incredibly simple with the help of a food processor. Cut an orange into quarters and remove the seeds, then toss it in your food processor. Blitz the food processor until the orange is almost pureed but still some pieces of orange peel.

Next, add the remaining ingredients to your food processor and pulse the batter until it is smooth. You will still be able to see little pieces of orange, but there shouldn’t be large pieces.

Baking

Now that your cupcake batter is done it is time to separate your cupcakes and bake.

Scoop the batter into your mini-cupcake pans. You can add mini-cupcake liners to your pan or grease the mini-cupcake tin. Either way will work.

You should be able to get 24 mini-cupcakes from this recipe. If you run out of batter, use a spoon to transfer some of the batter from your fullest cupcakes to the empty cups.

To bake your cupcakes preheat your oven to 180C/350F. Once the oven is hot place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. You’ll know your cupcakes are done when a skewer or fork can be removed cleanly from the centre of a cupcake.

Serving

These cupcakes are delicious served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or sprinkled with sugar-free confectioners sugar.

If you are not dairy-free and really want to impress your guests or serve these sugar-free gluten-free cupcakes for a birthday party, then why not add creamy sugar-free frosting on top? You can even pipe some frosting or whipped cream into the center.

Your whole family will love these healthy mini-cupcakes. They are perfect eaten as is or dress your cupcakes up by sprinkling your favourite powdered sweetener over the top. Enjoy!

Storage

The cupcakes will need to cool completely on a wire rack before you are able to store any leftover cupcakes.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To defrost cupcakes, leave one or two on the kitchen bench at room temperature for 20 minutes. Or you can use the defrost setting on your microwave.

Cupcakes can also be reheated in the microwave if desired for 10-15 seconds.
