This past week I celebrated a dear friend’s birthday. My family went over to our friend’s house for a potluck.The day of the potluck I wanted to bring some dessert, but was undecided on what to make. Then I asked my four year old daughter, Emma, what she wanted to make. Any guesses?! “Cupcakes, Cupcakes”, Emma exclaimed! I’ve really been enjoying baking with almond and coconut flours lately, so I decided to create a recipe based on these flours. The cupcakes turned out delicious. They are moist, grain-free and quite addicting. Alright, they are VERY addicting. I am pretty sure I will be making them again this week just so I get to eat most of them this time!

2 cups blanched almond flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

3 eggs

3/4 cup coconut sugar (brown sugar will also work)

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Scrap sides of bowl and beat for another 3 minutes.

Place cupcake liners in each cup of the muffin/cupcake tin (or lightly grease each cup with coconut oil). Fill each cup 3/4 full. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for 1 hour.

Ingredients for Frosting:

1 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil

1/2 tsp. chocolate raspberry stevia

Melt coconut oil over low heat in a sauce pan. Add in chocolate chips and stevia. Stir and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove pan from burner and let the frosting cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use a rubber spatula or flat knife to spread the frosting on top of each cupcake.

Topping Ideas: Chocolate chips, coconut flakes, raspberries, sprinkles, and/or strawberries.Makes 12 cupcakes.
