Pineapple Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350°F, line 12 cups of a muffin pan with cupcake lines, and lightly spray insides with cooking spray (or use non-stick pan).
In a bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar.
Spread on bottom of muffin pan cavities.
Place pineapple slices in pan.
In a bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, coconut flour, lemon zest and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, pineapplesauce, lemon juice and melted butter.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Divide batter into cupcake cavities;
Bake for 15-17 minutes.
Don’t let the batter sit out.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean and center of cake springy to touch.
Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
Loosen the sides with a small spatula. Place plate or cooling rack on cupcakes, and invert onto another cooling rack. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
