Whole Wheat Key Lime Pie Cupcakes

-------------------------------------------------------

Let me start off by saying these are easy cupcakes to make, you just have to make sure you taste your batter as you are zesting your key lime, you don't want it to tart.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 cup canola/vegetable oil or applesauce
1 lime zested and juiced

Set oven to 350, bake for 20 minutes

Mix wet ingredients, and then add dry ingredients until well blended, add key lime zest and fresh key lime juice, taste batter as you are adding it in.

Let the cupcakes cool

Butter Cream Icing

2 sticks of unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups of powered sugar
2 tbsp. buttermilk
2 tbsp. key lime zest and a little juice smidgen of green food color
crushed walnuts

Mix butter for about 1 minute, then mix in all the other ingredients, until to the stiffness that you want.
Decorate your cupcakes and add crushed walnuts on top.
