Skinny Dark Chocolate Frosted Cupcakes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 1/2 cup (43g) unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (43g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cups (90g) gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 2 tsp (8g) baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp (27g) coconut oil (liquid or melted)
  • 1 Tbsp (13g) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (123g) plain Greek Yogurt (nonfat)
  • 2/3 cup (210g) agave or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60g) almond milk

Frosting

  • 1 can coconut milk (chilled in fridge overnight)
  • 2-3 tsp (8–13g) pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with parchment liners.
  • Set aside two mixing bowls.
  • In one bowl, combine your dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
  • In the second bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, and vanilla. Then add in your Greek Yogurt and whisk until smooth. Stir in your agave or maple syrup.
  • Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix together until incorporated. Then add in your milk. The batter will be thick.
  • Divide your batter between the muffin liners (about 3 Tbsp. each). Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Grab your can of coconut milk that has been removed from fridge (let thaw for 5-10 minutes).
  • Scoop out the top portion of coconut milk that is thick and a creamy consistency. Do not add the watery part at the bottom (if you get a little in there it’s fine).
  • Grab your electric mixer and mix until fluffy. Add in some vanilla extract to preferred taste.
  • Either frost with a knife or grab a piping bag and pipe your coconut milk frosting on top of your cupcakes. Add sprinkles or whatever other topping you want!
  • Viola! Enjoy immediately!
