Christmas cupcakes made with a base of simple water cocoa muffins and a frosting made with Greek yogurt and desiccated coconut, decorated with strawberries. A recipe designed for a lactose-free and lighter version.
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
In a bowl, combine the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt and mix well.
In another bowl, combine the water, seed oil, and vanilla extract; pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and lump-free.
Fill the liners about 3/4 full with the batter and bake for about 16-20 minutes (do the toothpick test).
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the frosting: mix the Greek yogurt with the desiccated coconut and the chosen sweetener until you obtain a thick, smooth cream. If necessary, let it rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Once the muffins have cooled, spread the frosting on top of each one with a spatula or piping bag.
Decorate each cupcake with a strawberry and sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
Serve with friends and family; store in the refrigerator in an airtight container and take out 15-20 minutes before eating.

Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.
