Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beet sugar
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder (Addicted Wellness Brand) *see notes
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened non dairy milk (I use almond milk)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (cooled down to room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder (Addicted Wellness Brand) *see notes
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake tin with paper liners (enough for 12 cupcakes). Set aside.

  2. In a bowl, mix together first 6 ingredients. Set aside.

  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the last 4 ingredients until smooth.

  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together until combined. Don't over mix! 

  5. Scoop batter evenly between the individual cupcake liners. Fill them 2/3 of the way full, leaving enough room for them to rise while baking. 

  6. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and they're firm, yet bounce back when you touch them. Mine are perfect at 22 minutes. 

  7. Let cool slightly before transferring cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely.

  8. In the meantime, make the frosting by simply adding the ingredients together in a food processor and processing until smooth. You may have to stop it a couple times to scrape down the sides of the food processor. Store frosting in refrigerator until ready for use.

  9. Once cupcakes are cool, frost them and top them with optional mini dark chocolate chips. Enjoy!!

  10. Store leftover cupcakes at room temperature for up to 5 days.
