Instructions
Paleo Vanilla Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners and set aside.
- Take your eggs out of the refrigerator to warm up. Melt the coconut oil, set aside to cool.
- Add all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix together. Make sure there are no lumps
- Add all the wet ingredients to another bowl and whisk until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk together for one minute to create a smooth batter.
- Evenly divide the batter between 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting on top.
Vegan Buttercream Frosting
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add vanilla.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, and mix starting on low speed gradually increasing to medium, until all the powdered sugar is mixed in.
- Add 1-3 tablespoons of milk, to get a spreadable consistency, and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until everything is well combined. Scrape the bowl as needed.
- If the frosting is too thin add more sugar, if it’s to thick add more milk.
- Pipe or spread onto your cupcakes or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to use bring it to room temperature and beat again until fluffy.
