Perfect for the holidays, birthdays, or any day, these tasty treats make for great Christmas gifts or contributions to holiday parties! This final recipe is extremely easy and very rewarding, not to mention fluffy, light and moist, and so delicious – even your friends that aren’t on the paleo diet will love these cupcakes. Can’t beat those qualifications! In the end you may use any “dairy free” frosting of your choice, and vary the flavors or even add a filling, or add fruits etc. The possibilities are truly endless.
I always have fun with my daughter, Miranda Jade of Miranda Jade Bakeshop when we work on desserts. Using her decorating skills enables me to make a mess at testing recipes and turning the final cake or cupcake over to her to work her magic.
This recipe was changed from the original, which had a bit too much sugar and milk. Both ingredients I will try and avoid as much as possible. Hence, you can enjoy this dairy free and almost sugar free. Really makes for a nice change compared to all those highly-sugared holiday desserts we are used to.
In this recipe I tested and used a 100% grain-free mix with a base of almond flour from a company named Almond Glory. You can find this online and enjoy other recipes I made with this mix like my popovers or breakfast squares with chocolate. Yum!
