Ingredients
-
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6 large eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
1/2 cup yacon syrup (or other sweetener if not following Candida Diet)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (use alcohol-free)
for the frosting
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (use alcohol-free)
1/4 cup yacon syrup (or powdered yacon if you can find it)
Preparation
-
Preheat over to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Line 12 muffin tins with muffin liners or grease with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, sift together coconut flour, baking soda and sea salt.
In a medium bowl, using a fork or whisk, beat together eggs, 1 TB vanilla, oil and yacon syrup until well mixed.
Add wet ingredients slowly to dry ingredients and mix very well with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop batter into 12 even portions in muffin tins.
Bake for 20-22 minutes.
Cool.
For Frosting, beat together butter, 1 TB vanilla and yacon syrup or powder with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
Spread frosting on cupcakes.
Enjoy!
Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. But they probably won't last that long.
Tip: The Yacon has powerful digestive-aiding properties. Don't eat too many or you may get a stomach ache!
