Sinless Cupcakes

I adapted this recipe from Paleo.com
Great treat that is guilt free!

What You Need:
Batter:
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
1/2 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
6 Eggs
1 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract

Chocolate Frosting
1 Cup Dark Chocolate
2 Tbs Honey
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
Pinch Sea Salt

What to Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry batter ingredients in bowl and mix. Combine wet ingredients in bowl and, using hand mixer, mix. While mixing, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Pour into greased cupcake pan. Makes 12.
Bake for 18 minutes.

Frosting: Melt coconut oil in small saucepan. Add chocolate, vanilla, honey, and salt. Mix thoroughly, transfer to food processor or blender (make sure this can fit in the freezer) and let sit in freezer until it has a thick consistency (about 10 minutes). This took me a few times of taking it out, re melting in the microwave, and re freezing to get it right but if the top is somewhat hard and you catch it just before the bottom hardens, it is perfect. Keep an eye on it every few minutes.
Remove from freezer and whip in food processor.

Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding frosting. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to decorating frosting.. I plopped a blob on each and swirled a fork around it to create the rose-like look. Better than nothing!

Enjoy!
