GF CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Leave a reply

2 cups oats
1 cup coconut sugar or sucanat
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water
1/4 cup avacado or liquid coconut oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

In a blender, blend rolled oats until they become a fine flour. Add sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Blend to combine. Add water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Pulse until just combined, scraping down sides with a spatula as needed. Divide batter into 12 muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then move to a wire rack to continue cooling. If you eat them warm they are crumbly. It’s hard to resist though. ? Delicious with a glass of homemade cashew milk or homemade coconut milk!

Make sure your oats or oat flour is certified gluten free, if necessary.

Filling
1/4 cup almond butter
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup maple syrup

Chocolate
2 bakers chocolate bars, chopped
Microwave in 30 second increments then stir, 3 times. (Total 1.5 minutes)
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons stevia powder (or to taste)

Pour about a tablespoon of the chocolate into each of the molds and swirl it around. Place a flattened scoop of the filling in each. Cover with drizzled chocolate. Refrigerate 1 hour. Serve with whatever kind of milk you like! Yum!

Note: I tried melting the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove and it seized and hardened and was unusable! If you are 100% anti-microwave go for the double boiler method and good luck to you. I, however, am ok with using the microwave on special occasions…like melting chocolate. 😉
