INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 3/4 cup Water

INSTRUCTIONS
For the cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350. Line two 12 cup cupcake pans with 15 cupcake liners. Lightly grease the liners with baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, maple syrup, water, lemon juice and zest, lemon extract, and thyme. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix.
Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 16- 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out dry with a few crumbs clinging to it. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
To assemble the cupcakes:
Dust the cooled cupcakes with powdered sugar and pipe or spoon a dollop of coconut whipped cream on the cupcakes. Garnish with thyme and lemon zest. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
