Nut Free Chai Spiced Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
5 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine dry ingredients together and set aside.
Now whisk together the eggs, oil, honey and vanilla until they are well mixed and just foamy.
Whisk the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until there are no lumps left in the batter. Batter will thicken slightly and will resemble a pancake batter.
Pour batter into cupcake papers, about 2/3 full and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool muffins for at least 30 min before frosting.
How many cupcakes did you get out of this recipe?
Briana, so sorry I didn't get a notification for your comment. Had no idea it was here. I get about 8-10 cupcakes with this recipe.
No problem! Thanks!
I have another question! If I wanted to add shredded carrots to this recipe, how would that work? Or perhaps another "something shredded" or nuts?? Any suggestions? 🙂 I LOVE this recipe, hubby does too!
Oh never mind. I just found your carrot cake mini recipe! PERFECT 🙂
do you have any recipes that are also egg-less?
I asume you are referring to baked goods…
I have not posted any egg free baked quick breads on the blog thus far since I am unable at this time to eat chia or flax seeds. I used to use chia and flax eggs often in my baking before I became very ill. So as of now, I have done very little baking using 'vegan eggs' with almond and coconut flours. I have experimented some. They seem to do ok with almond flour, but I have not had enough consistent results to feel comfortable posting to the blog.
Coconut flour does not lend itself well to egg free baking. It is very dependent on the eggs for binding. I have yet to find a recipe that does it well. I do have a number of egg free cookie recipes though if you are interested. If you try subbing 'vegan eggs' in any of my recipes PLEASE do let me know how it goes. As I heal, I will be able to return to more 'egg' free baking. I look forward to that day.
These were so easy to make and super delicious! Hopefully I don't eat them all before the hubby and kiddos come home. I think finally they are going to like a Paleo cupcake! Thank you!!!! 😉
This looks great!! I am sharing it (& linking back) on my blog today (www.sneakersoffaith.blogspot.com). Please let me know if that is not ok!
Oh man, a chai cupcake! Sounds like heaven. I wonder if drinking an iced chai with this would be overkill 🙂
these are SO good. THANK YOU! 🙂
any way to do this without honey?? maybe applesauce/bananas?
Made these today – came out great! I'm skipping the frosting and calling them chai muffins 🙂 My batter came out a lot thicker than the recipe indicated – not sure why. Maybe because I used my blender to mix? Or, maybe my eggs were small. I ended up adding two extra eggs. I also had to substitute allspice for the cardamom because I didn't have any cardamom. They are so nice and light and tasty – will certainly make again! Think I'll experiment too with applesauce and bananas. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wonder if maple syrup would be a good sub for honey… The only think i worry about is the consistency discrepancy, but I don't know if that would make a difference…
Ohhh, these are so good! I made them as "muffins" with just a sprinkling of shredded coconut on top. I think these might even be a hit with my boyfriend, who also loved your chocolate chip cookies. He still doesn't know that I've started baking exclusively with coconut and almond flours 🙂
I made these for a preschool bake sale and I got numerous compliments. They are so delicious, even without the frosting. They were even wonderful the second day (which is frequently not true with GF baked goods). Thank you!
Just made these. My life loved them. They came out small. I would double the recipe next time. I did drain the Greek yogurt and added the 1/2 cup if honey which was a nice touch. Your recipes are awesome. Going to make your pumpkin biscuit with egg and bacon tomorrow. Wish me luck.
That was suppose to say my kids loved them.
These look amazing! If I wanted to eliminate the honey and not replace it with anything, can I actually do that?…will the consistency change? I cannot add sugar to any recipes. Thanks
Yes taking the honey out will change it significantly.
