Ingredients
  • ½ cup almond flour (not packed)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼-1/2 tsp stevia OR ½ cup Erythritol
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
    FOR THE GANACHE (see above note)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 60%)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚.
  2. Prepare a cupcake pan by lining with paper liners, set aside.
  3. Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth and homogenous.
  4. Divide batter evenly into the cupcake pan, I use about 4 tablespoons per cupcake.
  5. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs on it, too clean and it's over baked, about 20-25 minutes.
  6. While the cupcakes are baking you can make the ganache, simply heat the cream over medium heat until hot.
  7. Add the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth, dark and delicious.
  8. Set aside to cool.
  9. I LOVE adding ganache to the top of cupcakes and letting it cool completely, the ganache turns into sort of a decadent fudge and it's SO good.
  10. You can certainly eat these cupcakes hot out of the oven (that's what I did last night) or let them cool, doesn't matter, you'll love them no matter what.
  11. Serve with cold milk or coffee :)
