- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- dash salt
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2/3 cup coconut milk
- 4 pastured eggs
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil- room temperature
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- dash salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 4-6 tbsp powdered coconut sugar
- 4 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
- shredded coconut optional
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Melt the coconut oil and combine with remaining cupcake ingredients in a food processor or bowl, mix well.
Place batter in a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners .The cupcakes will rise a small amount, so you can fill the muffin liner about 3/4 full–almost to the top. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops are slightly browned.
Place the coconut oil in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer. The coconut oil will soften up a bit. Add the coconut butter, vanilla and powdered coconut sugar and blend with the hand mixer until mixed.
- Then add the cacao or cocoa powder and mix again. Keep in the fridge until the cupcakes are cooled and ready to frost. The frosting will harden if it’s in the fridge for longer than 30 minutes. To soften, leave at room temperature for 15-30 minutes then blend again with a hand mixer until it breaks up and softens.
- Top the cupcakes with the frosting and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Store the cupcakes in the fridge and let sit at room temperature 30-60 minutes before eating to allow the frosting to soften.

October 6, 2013 at 3:24 pmDo you know if this recipe can be made in a pan, like an 8×8, to make a cake? Would the amounts be the same?
Healy Real Food Vegetarian says
October 6, 2013 at 4:12 pmI’m not sure if it would come out the same, but I also have a chocolate cake recipe- http://www.healyrealfoodvegetarian.com/grain-free-chocolate-cake/

September 7, 2014 at 9:15 pmGreat recipe! many thanks <3 . To make mixture go a bit further I tried bulking it out with a cup of apple puree and added an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder (I am finding using the alternative flours to be extremely taxing on the budget, so I am trying anything to make them go a bit further) They were incredible (especially the next day!) – So soft and moist and delectible! YUM!!

September 19, 2014 at 1:49 pmcan you use regular sugar and milk instead of coconut?
Bee says
October 9, 2014 at 8:10 pmHi. These look gorgeous! Quick question about the amount of coconut milk, it just shows up as “2/3” coconut milk here. Is that 2/3 cup? Thanks!!
Healy Eats Real says
October 10, 2014 at 10:27 amYes, 2/3 cup 🙂

April 27, 2017 at 12:32 pmThis looks interesting. I’m getting a bag of coconut flour from a friend this weekend. I’ve book marked this recipe to give it a try. I’m interested in this coconut butter idea. My GodSon has 7 of the top 8 food allergies (he can do eggs).
It looks like you used a scoop to get the icing on the cupcakes? Does the icing pipe well? The GodSon gets fussy if his food looks different then everyone else. (Other option is I scooop everyones icing)
Hannah Healy says
April 28, 2017 at 10:45 amI think you could pipe it, but you may need to add some moisture from additional butter or coconut oil.
