Passive Time1 hour hr
Servings: 12 cupcakes
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup oat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk , room temperature
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs , room temperature
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting
- 7 oz dark chocolate with Stevia , chopped in small pieces
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
Wet Ingredients
Make buttermilk by adding milk and lemon juice into a bowl and leaving it untouched for 10 minutes.
Then add the rest of the ingredients. Whisk to mix everything well, using a hand whisk. Now add in the dry ingredients and whisk until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.
Using an ice cream scoop, divide batter evenly into muffin pan lined with muffin papers.
Frosting
Heat coconut milk in a pot until it starts bubbling on the edges, and then pour it into a bowl containing the chocolate. Leave untouched for 2 minutes. Using a hand whisk, then whisk the mixture until it becomes thick and smooth.
Chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Using a hand-held mixer, whisk the frosting until it becomes fluffy, light and pale in colour. This will take more or less 10 minutes. Scrape the side of the bowl with a spatula now and then.
Frost the cupcakes as you wish and serve!
- Use a portable oven thermometer to get the accurate oven temperature (I use it all the time).
