Cupcakes with strawberry filling are not only incredibly delicious, soft, and fluffy, but also healthier because some of the wheat flour is replaced with quinoa flour. Quinoa also imparts a unique, subtle aroma and flavor that pairs beautifully with strawberries. For the filling, use any strawberry jam and spoon it into the center of the cupcake tin, filling first with one half of the batter, then with the other. To decorate the cupcakes, whip up some buttercream frosting, divide it into two portions, and top each with different flavors: strawberry jam and melted dark chocolate.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Position a rack on the middle shelf of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with a hand mixer. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix. Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan (about 2 tablespoons per well).
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the center of each batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the jam to completely cover. Bake until the cupcakes are puffed and spring back when lightly pressed, 15-17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- GlazePlace the chocolate chips in a small bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the water bath.
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter with a hand mixer until light and smooth. Stir in 3 cups of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla and beat well. Transfer half of the glaze to a small bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate to one bowl with the icing and stir until smooth. Stir the strawberry jam and the remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar into the other bowl with the icing.
- Using a small offset spatula, spread your desired frosting over the tops of the cupcakes. Let the frosting set for 20 minutes and serve.
