    Lemon Chia Cupcakes

    The first time I made these lemon and chia cupcakes was for Portland's Really Big Vegan Bake Sale. Temperatures were hovering in the low hundreds and the day before the sale we were all warned against bringing anything to the sale with frosting. A bake sale without frosting! But it had to be done. Anything frosted was sure to be a melted pile of goop before 10 a.m.

    So I needed a new plan. Lemon and Chia Cupcakes — summer perfection, light and citrusy. The recipes comes to us by way of our friend over at My Fridgie. And like most of her recipes, this one is simple and easy to whip up any day of the week!

    I like to serve them dusted with a little powdered sugar alongside some fresh strawberries. You can't go wrong.
