Coconut Flour Cupcakes (only 7 ingredients!)

Dana Benson

Report

These Coconut Flour Cupcakes are light & fluffy, while being naturally gluten-free! They are also oil-free, with a sneaky serving of zucchini in each bite.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a standard muffin tin with 10 cupcake liners.
In a blender, combine the coconut flour, zucchini, eggs, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Blend until very smooth. (If you don't have a powerful blender, blend together the zucchini and eggs first, until smooth. Then add in the rest of the ingredients and blend again.)
Pour the batter into the 10 cupcake liners. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes, or until the center of the cupcakes feels firm to a light touch.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting and serving. If making them in advance, store these cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

After testing this recipe 10 times, I'm of the opinion that zucchini produces the best cupcake texture, without being oily or with a hint of "healthy" fruit or veggie flavor. If you want to try using applesauce, pumpkin, or mashed banana instead, you are welcome to try that, but keep in mind that the flavor will change with modifications.
