Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line muffin tins with paper liners or use silicone muffin molds. Often times I use silicone muffin liners instead of paper just because coconut flour baked goods tend to stick to the paper linings.

Combine the dry ingredients together and set aside.

*Note: Be sure to use the 'dip and sweep(scoop)' method when measuring coconut flour. Dip the measuring cup into the flour, then sweep over the top with a knife or flat edge. Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so proper measuring is imperative to get a nice cake 'crumb'. 1/2 cup will weigh about 2 oz.

Using a mixer or hand whisk, beat the coconut oil, honey, vanilla and vinegar till well combined.

On low/medium-speed combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and continue to mix till smooth.


Incorporate the eggs into the batter 2 at a time till well combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Fill prepared muffin tins about 2/3 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes or until the tops spring back under gentle touch or a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Baking times will vary from oven to oven and bakeware to bakeware, so keep an eye on it towards the end.


Allow the muffins/cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes. Coconut baked goods are best when given proper time to cool so the moisture can redistribute throughout the cake.


Makes about 10-11 regular size cupcakes
