Chocolate cupcakes without sugar and flour

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.

  1. 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?

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. This looks like a fabulous recipe, definitely bookmarked! I’m also very aware of the amounts of refined sugars these days, so I’ll definitely be trying this ‘healthy’ version out 🙂 thanks!

  7. 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. 🙂
