Recipe type: Gluten Free / Dairy Free
Yield: 36 Cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ Cup Organic Coconut Sugar
- 2 Organic Eggs
- 2 Cups Gluten Free Flour (recommend Cassava Flour)
- 2 TSP Baking Soda
- 1 TSP Baking Powder
- ¾ Cup Cacao or Cocoa Powder
- 1 TSP Himalayan Sea Salt
- ¾ TSP Xanthum Gum – Optional, helps with texture due to no Gluten
- 1 13.5 oz. Can Unsweetened Original Coconut Milk (full fat/NOT light)
- ½ Cup Organic Canola Oil
- 1 TSP Pure Vanilla Extract
- 8 oz. Strong Brewed Coffee – Cooled to room temperature
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. I use the unbleached version.
- In mixing bowl add sugar and eggs. Beat well until completely combined and fluffy.
- In a separate large bowl add: GF flour | Baking Soda | Baking Powder | Cacao Powder | Salt | Gum
- Whisk until combined. Then gradually add to Egg/Sugar mixture. Will be thick & crumbly still.
- In a mini food processor, blend the contents of the coconut milk until completely smooth.
- Next add coconut milk, oil, vanilla and coffee to the cake batter. Beat until combined.
- Evenly pour batter into cupcake wrappers.
- Bake between 12-18 minutes. Start testing at 12 minutes with toothpick. My sweet spot was 16 minutes. All ovens are different. They are done when crumbs stick to toothpick but not gooey wet.
- Top with your favorite frosting.
- Eat within 2-3 days – if they make it that long. 😊
