Ingredients

Scale

Cupcakes:

1/2 cup coconut oil

6 tablespoons almond milk

6 tablespoons shredded zucchini

3 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cup super fine almond flour*

6 tablespoons Swerve or equivalent granulated sweetener

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum

1/8 teaspoon salt

Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter, softened

6 tablespoons Confectioner's Swerve or equivalent powdered sweetener

1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Instructions

1.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.  Put cream cheese and butter on the counter to soften.

2.  Add coconut oil, almond milk, zucchini, eggs and vanilla extract to a blender.  Blend for 20 seconds until smooth.

3.  In a large bowl, sift together almond flour, granulated sweetener, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, Xanthan Gum and salt.

4.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.  The batter will be very thick.

5.  Use a spoon to drop the batter into the wells of the cupcake pan.  Smooth the tops with your fingers. 

6.  Bake for 22-24 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

7.  Allow to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before frosting.

8.  Cream together cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl.  Mix in powdered sweetener and whip until light and fluffy.

9.  Spread or pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes. 

10.  Sprinkle flaked coconut on top.  Alternately, you can put the coconut flakes in a small bowl and dip the frosted cupcakes into the coconut flakes.

Notes

*If you take these cupcakes to a party, make sure to clearly mark that they contain nuts.  Most people don’t expect cupcakes to use almond flour, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat them.
