Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds (soaked overnight and drained)
  • ½ cup medjool dates (pitted)
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder
  • ¼ cup coffee (brewed and cooled)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut (for topping, optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare Base Mixture: In a food processor, combine the soaked almonds and medjool dates. Blend until finely ground, resembling a dough-like consistency.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add raw cacao powder, coconut flour, cinnamon (optional), and sea salt to the almond-date mixture. Pulse until well combined.
  3. Add Coffee: Gradually pour in the cooled coffee and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky.
  4. Shape the Cupcakes: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into mini muffin tins or silicone cupcake molds. Press the mixture down firmly to compact it.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up the cupcakes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once set, top each cupcake with shredded coconut if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: These raw vegan coffee cupcakes can be made ahead. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Customizing the Flavor: To enhance the coffee flavor, add a bit of espresso powder. You can also use different nuts, such as cashews or walnuts, for variation.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve these cupcakes chilled with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or enjoy as a refreshing treat after a meal.
  • Storage Tips: Keep in the fridge in a sealed container to maintain freshness. They can be frozen for up to 2 months—just thaw before serving.
