    • Recipe Description:

    These are simple cupcakes that feel like you're treating yourself, even while you nourish your body!

    Recipe Ingredients:

  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 pastured eggs
  • 1/2 cup grade B maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • For the Frosting:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (preferably raw, never ultra-pasteurized)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons grade b maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or insides scraped out of 1/2 vanilla bean (a much prettier effect)
  • 1/3 cup crispy pecan pieces (or 1 whole crispy pecan placed on the center of each cupcake)

    • Recipe Instructions:

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Stuff eight muffin cups with liners.

    Combine coconut flour, arrowroot powder, salt, & soda. Add eggs, maple syrup, & vanilla extract. Beat the batter for at least one minute (preferably 2). The key to successfully baking grain-free dishes is beating the egg with the flour really thoroughly.

    Spoon batter in cupcake liners and bake about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake comes out clean. Cool in pan for about an hour.

    Whip all frosting ingredients together except pecans until peaks form. Spoon frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle pecans on top and serve.
