Serving: 12 cupcakes
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
For the cupcakes
-
½ cup whole milk
We love Alexander Family Farms for a healthy milk option!
- ½ cup oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups finely diced strawberries
For the buttercream
- 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juic
- ½ cup unsalted butter; softened
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons Unflavored Colostrum Powder
Instructions
For the cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line muffin tin with paper liners
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once fully combined, whisk in sugar.
- In the same bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until there are no lumps of flour.
- Gently fold in diced strawberries.
- Evenly divide batter into muffin tin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes and let fully cool before frosting.
For the buttercream
- Place strawberries and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until they form a smooth puree, about one minute.
- Strain as much liquid as possible. You can use a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth. Discard the seeds.
- Add softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the butter is very smooth, about 30 seconds.
- With mixer on low speed, slowly add in the powdered sugar.
- Add strawberry puree and vanilla extract.
- Once combined, turn mixer to high speed and beat 1-2 minutes, or until frosting is light and fluffy, scraping sides as needed.
- You can frost cupcakes with a knife or transfer it to a piping bag and frost cooled cupcakes.
Note - store cupcakes in an airtight container and consume within 3 days (if there’s any left😋)!

Why Does Whole Colostrum Matter?
The bioactive molecules in colostrum need protection in order to get through digestion and into the gut.
This is why Whole Colostrum is essential.
If the molecules don’t have this protection, they can lose their value. If you skim colostrum and remove the casein and fat, which a lot of brands do today, the bioactive molecules are no longer protected. It becomes very unlikely that they will arrive at the desired location for absorption (aka your gut).
Whole Colostrum is as natural as you can get. Which is why we make it a top priority that our products never contain any additives, fillers, or mixing agents. So you can experience the full wonder and range of benefits of colostrum.
We pride ourselves in creating a colostrum powder that is full of wonderful ingredients and no mixing agents, additives, gluten, soy or more.
Here’s our favorite reminder as of late: feeling nourished and thriving doesn’t have to be hard. Small, consistent habits lead to big change — and that’s the wonder of Whole Bovine Colostrum. Just two scoops daily (or more!) supports a happy gut, a strong immune system, sustained energy, and more.
Here’s to another year of living wonderfully — together.
