Introduction: Homegrown Raspberries Cupcakes

I’m a Portuguese girl that decided to bake some cupcakes to use up some of the millions of frozen raspberries in my freezer. I personaly picked these raspberries from my mother’s farm and they are fully organic and wonderfull in taste. I made the cupcakes with simple ingredients that anyone can find in their kitchen. These yummy cupcakes are full of antioxidants and vitamins, they are also low on sugar, perfect for kids. Have fun!
