Chocolate cupcakes without sugar and flour

Gabriela Lupu

Yeah!! Finally I found a recipe for my boy for cupcakes without flour and sugar. They called it Paleo recipe, I call it a very healthy and with a great taste recipe for cupcakes.

I added a chocolate frosting without sugar and I got an amazing dessert for our family.

With white sugar being added in almost everything these days, I want to try to eat white sugar as less as possible. So, trying healthy recipes is one of the steps I do to cut white sugar from our daily meals.

Ingredients cupcakes:

  • 1/2 cup coconut powder or flakes
  • 1/2 cup carob or cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 juice from 1 lemon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (375 degrees F). Line  a cupcake pan cups with paper liners.

Mix all the ingredients in a blender. Fill the prepared cupcake liners and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 30 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a rack.

You can keep them for a few days in the fridge at room temperature in a box.

Ingredients for frosting:

  •  1 large avocado diced and sliced
  • 1 banana sliced
  •  4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon walnut oil

Put all the ingredients in the blender and blend it till you have a creamy texture.

Decorate the chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I used also chocolate eggs because we have Easter coming soon. Enjoy!

  10. Looks delicious. I’m wondering if the avacado in the frosting can be substitute with second ripe banana. I’m not keen on sweetened avocado. I understand the benefits of avacado but I’m stuck on it as a savory food. What do think?

  18. Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! I bake for my Cosy Cake Club each month and I have a lady who needs gluten free and sugar free ( she is Diabetic) cakes.
    The only problem I can see is that I would not be able to put the Honey in the frosting for her and might have to use diabetic sugar.

  21. I can’t eat honey or agave-I know these are supposed to be sugar free; I wonder what I could substitute?

  23. This recipe must be delicious! And it is very healthy too! I may try it in the future because I think we all should reduce the amount of white sugar we eat x

  35. I like to cut out sugar as much as possible too! I end up altering baking recipes and it ends up a disaster most of the time! Can’t wait to try this recipe.

  48. This looks delicious. I’ve been wanting to experiment with avocado frosting because avocados are so yummy and it’s also a wonderfully healthy substitute for something that’s entirely made of sugar and fat. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
