Olive-Oil-Cupcakes-7

If you are looking for the ultimate sweet and savory combo than these Olive Oil Cupcakes with Lemon Butter Cream are exactly where it’s at!

Olive-Oil-Cupcakes-1

The batter is extremely simple to make, just replace the butter or oil in a regular cupcake batter with extra virgin olive oil.  I know what you’re thinking but I promise you they are delicious.  Next, spray up your muffin tin with PAM Original No-Stick Spray.

Olive-Oil-Cupcakes-2

The buttercream is a typical buttercream recipe that is spiked with a little lemon zest and juice, and it compliments the cupcakes perfectly.

I went a little camera crazy so you’re going to have to forgive me for all the photos.

Olive-Oil-Cupcakes-4

Top off the cupcakes with a little fresh lemon zest for a little more boom in the flavor.

Since these are so balanced I actually loved eating them alongside coffee in the morning.. Just an idea :-).
