This recipe comes from Comfy Belly and is found here. We were quite pleased with the taste and texture. I wish I could claim this recipe as my own, but it most definitely is not. Thanks, Comfy Belly for the delicious cupcake recipe!
Vanilla Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sitfted coconut flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
4 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter (melted)
1/2 cup honey
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine all the dry in ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well (a hand mixer works great).
4. Divide batter among 8 cupcakes.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
6. Cool and then frost.
*Store in a airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for about a week.
Chocolate Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp. cocoa
Whip together and frost! I would like to try making the frosting using coconut oil, but I am currently out. I think the texture would be a bit lighter.
Vanilla Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
Whip together and frost! As mentioned above, I’d love to try this with coconut oil and see how it turns out.
Note: One batch of frosting was more than enough to do the 8 cupcakes (the way I frosted them in the picture).

Thanks for posting this! I made these last night, and my husband kept saying I must have done something wrong – they tasted TOO good! LOL

Is it one cupcake equals one serving? And how would I figure out the nutrition facts for one serving? Help please.

Could you substitute any of the butter with applesauce or banana ?

We can’t use eggs . What can I use instead and how much of it? FYI banana and apples are out too! Thanks

Just finished eating one these. They were great! I was concerned that there would be a strong coconut-y flavor, but there was just a slightly sweet, moist, and delicious cupcake. Definitely saving this recipe. I also think that these were easier to make than traditional cupcakes. thanks!

If I want to make a vanilla cake what would the measurements be????

Hmmm…I have not tried that yet so I am not sure. I would guess that one recipe would be close to a round cake pan? But I’m not sure. I would probably double it if you are going to put it in a 9×13. Let me know how it goes!

Can we substitute the honey for raw honey?? or would that give it different texture??
Jennifer

That should work just fine!

I tried making the frosting but had no luck. The cupcakes turned out great!! But how much would you use of coconut oil for the frosting? Oh and I ran out of honey so I tried using raw honey for the frosting LOL

i am beyond thrilled to try these! so many gluten-free/paleo cake recipes rely on chocolate/carob for flavor and moisture… but i’m a “vanilla” girl myself! thanks so much!
