Chia Seeds, Lemon & Orange Cupcakes 黑籽子,柠檬香橙杯子蛋糕
These citrusy and refreshing cupcakes made with chia seeds, lemon and orange are yummy especially when served warm. You can feel the soft texture of the cake and bits of crunchy chia seeds with each bite. They are definitely a wonderful treat to serve for any occasions.

- 75g caster sugar
- zest from 1 lemon

- 60ml orange juice
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Line muffin pan with 6 paper cups.
- Place the butter in a bowl and beat until soft and creamy. Add sugar and zest and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add beaten egg and beat well till combined.

Ann, I baked these yesterday, my friends & I loved it, the orange & lemon fragrance really fantastic! If I double the recipe, can I use a 7″ sq pan instead of a muffin pan. Please advise. Once again, many thanks. Have a blessed Sunday!

Hi Jen, Very sorry for the late reply as I’ve overlooked your comment. Yes you can use a 7 inch round cake pan for this recipe but the baking time may need a little longer, maybe 10 mins more. Please test the cake with a skewer before removing it from the oven.
looks gorgeous, have heard so much about these chia seeds but never tried them.
Awesome! I love simple muffins like this…Thanks for sharing, Ann.
