Greek Yogurt Lemon Cupcakes With Fresh Strawberries
If you want a fast, easy, light, fresh, and oh so tasty cupcake this is the recipe for you. I was dying to do some baking, but didn’t know what I wanted. This is the result, and it is a big win in my book. And dang easy too! Gotta love that.
Mini is always better too, except when I eat five seven in one sitting. Not good. But soooo good. I could not help myself. Truly, these little bites of sweetness are that yummy. So don’t make them if you are dieting. They are light, but have a strawberry shortcake like flavor, with lovely hints of lemon. I can’t even explain. Okay, just make them and thank me!
Because I topped them with fresh strawberry glaze, I waited until just before serving to top them, as I didn’t want them to get soggy at all.
