Sugar Free Lemonade Cupcakes
This recipe is a fun one to try when you are board of the usual cupcake recipe.
I am certainly not saying the there is something wrong with the usual cupcake recipe however.
Adding a bit of lemon to a cupcake can add a fun taste.
It is the perfect cupcake for a picnic or gathering with friends. I like that it compliments some of my favorite frostings as well.
Obviously, you will need sugar free lemonade mix for this.
You can easily find sugar free lemonade mix online here. An easy cheat for this recipe would be to use a sugar free cake mix according to the package and simply add the sugar free lemonade to it.
