For the Cupcakes
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 4 large eggs, whisked
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt For the Frosting
- 1 batch strawberry-style whipped coconut cream
- sliced strawberries, for decorating
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Step 2: Stir together the milk and apple vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to curdle.
- Step 3: Stir together the almond flour, sugar, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Next, add the remaining eggs, applesauce, oil, and vanilla. Pour in the curdled milk mixture and stir everything together just until no lumps remain.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the liners, filling 3/4 of the way to the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and spongey to the touch. If a toothpick inserted into the center doesn’t come out clean, put them back in for a few more minutes.
- Step 5: Place the pan on a cooling rack. Once cool enough to handle, remove the cupcakes gently from the pan and cool to room temperature.
- Step 6: Once the cupcakes have completely cooled and you are ready to serve, prepare the strawberry-style whipped coconut cream frosting. Note: The frosting can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated. If refrigerating, transfer the whipped cream to a room-temperature counter until softened slightly (it will be hard coming straight out the fridge).
- Step 7: Use a spoon to smear the whipped coconut cream over the cooled cupcakes. Decorate with strawberry slices.
- Serve: Enjoy! If it's hot out, place the frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator to avoid melting.
