Chocolate Coconut Flour Cupcakes.

I frequently switch around recipes I find on the website Elanas Pantry....
This is the recipe I followed:

I love her Coconut Flour Chocolate Cupcake recipe, but I changed it a bit and below is the recipe I use.  I don't like Grapeseed Oil & I like Honey, rather than Agave.
I topped it with just a simple quick Chocolate Frosting....


Preheat Oven to 350.
Recipe makes 7-8 cupcakes.

1/4 cup Coconut Flour.
2 Eggs.
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder.
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda.
1/2 cup Applesauce.
1/4 cup Honey.
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon or Vanilla Extract.

Whisk Eggs with Honey & Applesauce.
Sift together the Coconut Flour, Cocoa Powder & Baking Soda.
Combine Flour & Egg mixture; add in cinnamon or vanilla.

Bake for about 16-20 minutes.

Frosting:
1/2 cup Sifted Powdered Sugar.
{Whole Foods 365 brand makes one with NO cornstarch!!!}
2 Tbsp. Melted Chocolate Chips; or
2 tbsp. of Cocoa Powder.
few tsps. of Coconut or Almond Milk (or water works also)
 as needed until desired consistency.
Enjoy!
