Chocolaty PALEO Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
Get your paleo on with these cupcakes…
Chocolate cupcakes with zero guilt?
Yes, please…
These delightful treats are grain free and are sweetened with honey and real vanilla extract.
Though you are using coconut flour and coconut oil, there is very little coconut flavor detected in these little cakes. They come across as rich and chocolately in flavor and will surely meet the approval of your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Cake -
1/2 C coconut flour
1/2 C cocoa powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
8 eggs
1/2 C coconut oil melted
2/3 C honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Ganache -
1 C high quality chocolate (chopped up)
1.5 tbs grass fed butter
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill your cupcake pan with 12 liners and preheat the oven to 350 degrees..
In a medium sized bowl, blend all of your dry ingredients and set them aside. In a large bowl, combine your coconut oil, honey & vanilla. Add your pile of eggs, one at a time (coconut flour absorbs the moisture out of your batter, like a vacuum. Eggs will help to retain the moisture in your cake) Now, add it all together and mix it up, using a wire whisk, until you've removed any lumps and it's nice and creamy.
Spoon your batter into the cupcake pan and place it in the oven...
They should bake for about 15 minutes but every oven is different. I like to use the finger test.. Press lightly on the center of the cake. If you don't lose your finger in the cupcake and it bounces back, you're good to go.
Next, prepare your ganache.. Simply melt the chocolate chunks and butter in the microwave for 20 or so seconds - whisk together and spoon onto the tops of the cakes. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans (with coconut oil - YAY!)
Make these to die for cookies in the comfort of your own home…
A creation near & dear to my heart…
Cookies with coconut oil instead of butter.
I created this recipe, not because I hate butter but because I may need a piece of toast sometime in the not so distant future and I'm low on butter. (Yes, I'm eating bread this week.)
However, I realize some of you may face an opposite problem and be quite low on coconut oil. In which case, you may substitute butter, with the same measurements. However.. the coconut oil gives it the yummy coconutty flavor and crispy, crunch edges, I was kind of reaching for.
Ok, let's do this..
Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans and Coconut Oil...
Ingredients:
2 and 1/4 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 C coconut oil
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 C shredded coconut
1 C chopped pecans
2 C chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees
* Whip together your coconut oil and sugars until nice and creamy.
* Add eggs one at a time
* Add vanilla
* Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and then add to wet mixture, blending well.
* Add coconut, chopped pecans and chocolate chips until combined.
* Place round 2" balls of dough on your baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
* Bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes.
YUM. YUM, YUM…YOU’RE ALL DONE!
