These cupcakes are fluffy and sweet, but contain no sugar or butter. After a lot of experimenting with all kinds of ingredients I found the perfect combo to make healthy cupcakes that are not dry or tasteless. By using baking soda the cupcakes can rise enough, making them nice and fluffy. When baking soda comes into contact with acids such as yoghurt, buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice or cocoa, small gas bubbles are created that make baked goods fluffy. So only use it in combination with acids, if you do not do this you run the risk of an incorrect effect or a nasty aftertaste. You can easily find baking soda in a health food store.

The Rice Flour from Quamtrax provides the sweet taste. On the supplement shop you can find different flavors, my favorite flavor is 'Vanilla'. You can also use another flavor for the base of this recipe. Like the 'Brownie', but then I recommend replacing the blueberries with something else, like dark chocolate or walnuts.

Did you know that blueberries are not only delicious but also super healthy? They contain a lot of antioxidants, anthocyanins, fibers and minerals that help support health. The folic acid in blueberries reduces the chance of damage to your DNA caused by free radicals. Blueberries can also lower LDL cholesterol and contribute to healthy blood pressure. The many fibers they contain ensure a stable blood sugar level. And the anthocyanins in blueberries protect the heart and can improve brain function.
