       Vanilla Hemp Heart Cupcakes with Strawberries and Cream
       By: Thetis099 Date: September 3, 2023, 1:14 pm

       I made these yesterday to take to someone else.  Fortunately, I
       kept two for myself.  Tasty treat!
       Vanilla Hemp Heart Cupcakes with Strawberries and Cream
       Makes 10-12 cupcakes
       Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 25 minutes | Total time:
       35 minutes
       Cupcake Ingredients:
       ½ cup + 2 Tbs Hemp Hearts
       1 cup 1-to-1 gluten-free flour
       ¼ tsp baking soda
       ¼ tsp baking powder
       ½ tsp salt
       ½ cup vegan butter, at room temperature
       1 cup granulated sugar
       2 flax eggs
       2 tsp vanilla extract
       ½ cup vanilla oat milk, at room temperature
       ¼ tsp apple cider vinegar
       10-12 fresh strawberries, washed
       Directions:
       Preheat oven at 335 degrees F and line a cupcake tray with
       cupcake liners.
       Place ½ cup hemp hearts in a blender or grinder and pulse/grind
       for 10-20 seconds, until the texture resembles coarse flour.
       In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and
       hemp heart flour. Set aside.
       In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Once
       well combined, add flax eggs, vanilla extract, vanilla oat milk
       and apple cider vinegar.
       Add dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix well.
       Be careful not to overmix. The mixing components of steps 3 and
       4 together, shouldn’t take more than 90 seconds, whether using a
       stand mixer, hand mixer or a wooden spoon/spatula.
       Fold in remaining 2 Tbs of hemp hearts (5-10 seconds). Fill 70%
       of each cupcake liner with the batter and bake for 25 minutes or
       until it passes the toothpick test.
       Allow cupcakes to cool down to room temperature and generously
       ice each cupcake and place a fresh strawberry on top.
       Coconut Cream Icing Ingredients:
       1 cup heavy coconut cream or coconut whipped cream or vegan
       cream cheese
       1/2 cup icing sugar or to taste
       1/2 tsp coconut extract (or vanilla extract. Use 1 tsp vanilla
       extract if using cream cheese)
       2 Tbs desiccated coconut (optional)
       Directions:
       Combine all ingredients together and refrigerate for
       minimum 30 minutes before icing the cupcakes.
       Cooking Notes:
       Can substitute coconut cream icing with 1 cup of any other icing
       of choice.
       Prepare icing and refrigerate while cupcakes are baking.

       Is there a substitute for hemp hearts?  I'm not really sure what
       they are so don't know what they contribute to the cupcakes.

       Looking it up, they seem to hemp seeds.

       I looked it up but couldn’t tell whether they affected the
       viscosity or texture or whether they were like adding nuts or
       dried fruit or similar.

       They thicken foods similar to chia seeds and flax seeds, they
       have a lot of protein per serving, and they have omega 3s, iron,
       calcium, and potassium too.  I imagine both of chia and flax
       seeds could be substituted for the hemp seed hearts, but I am
       not certain.  I like the flavor of hemp seed hearts as well.
       I hope this helps:
