Ingredients

    Cupcakes:
    1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons coconut flour
    4 eggs
    2 egg whites
    1/2 cup coconut or palm sugar
    1 cup coconut milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Icing:
    1 perfectly ripe avocado
    1/2 cup good unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 cup maple syrup


Directions

Cupcakes:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a dozen cupcake holders.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until it forms an even batter.
Scoop equal amounts of the batter into each cupcake well.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.

Icing:
Place all three ingredients in a food processor and mix together, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. If too thin add a heaping teaspoon of tapioca starch or arrowroot powder. The frosting is ready to spread immediately.
