I was pleasantly surprised to find these chocolate cupcakes listed as a detox dessert. These are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, grain free and dairy free.
Light and not overly sweet. Coconut cream is what puts them over the top and omg… so yummy.
I could not stop eating them. I stood in the kitchen and shamelessly ate three, one right after the other. Not an hour later, my son walked into the kitchen and I watched as he ate three, one right after the other. We’re so much alike!
Simple, quick and easy to make. More than anything, I love that these are healthy. Coconut flour, raw honey, cocoa, and coconut oil are the main ingredients. The cupcake alone is only 150 calories.
And just for fun, I drizzled warm honey on top. 🙂
