Just made these for an office party & I had to try one..They are very yummy, even without any frosting. I did make a few alterations. I didn't have any lemon extract, so I added 3 TBS fresh lemon juice and subtracted that amt. from the milk. I also used half coconut oil and half olive oil for the canola. I only used about 3/4 cup sugar and drizzled a few TBS agave into the batter, as well as adding a few fresh blueberries. I will be keeping this recipe for sure.

I've made this recipe twice after finding it elsewhere online, and they are amazing cupcakes. I don't even frost them; I just top them with blueberry compote or preserves. However, this, as it is listed here, makes 24 cupcakes, not 12. The original recipe online said to half it for one dozen cupcakes.
