Caveman Chocolate Cupcakes

Happy 4th of July.

Almost. Kind of. Not really.

ThoughtI would jump the gun and get some red, white, and blue festive recipes up before the actual day arrives! 

UHM. CAVEMAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES. WITH BACON.

BACON.

IT’S A REAL THING.

• Grain Free – YES
• GLUTEN FREE- YES
• DAIRY FREE- YES
• PALEO- YES
• BACON- YES

#WINNING

The second I made that paleo candied bacon, I was plotting how I was going to use it in another recipe. 

Cupcakes make the world go round. So does bacon. Put the two together and you’ve got yourself the BEST dessert on this planet.

For the record- I brought these babies to my yoga studio to eat after a class I was teaching…and MULTIPLE people gave me the two thumbs up. Good review…must share! 

These cupcakes came out surprisingly moist for having no oil in them. I also went the egg white route instead of using full eggs and I wouldn’t do it any other way.

I did want to make a note that they aren’t INCREDIBLY sweet. Feel free to add additional coconut sugar, but I actually prefer my cupcakes to be more rich than sweet. #justbeinghonest

Ingredients for Caveman Chocolate Cupcakes

• almond meal
• coconut palm sugar
• baking powder
• cocoa powder
• egg whites
• apple sauce

Coconut oil spray is my best friend. You can pretty much find it anywhere these days. I know for a fact you can get it at Trader Joe’s.

For the frosting.

I use Against All Grain’s Recipe for Coconut Whipped Cream. 2 Ingredients: full fat coconut milk and honey. simple.

If you want to get a patriotic feel with these cupcakes and you’re a non bacon eater.

Just switch out the bacon for some strawberry slices. You won’t get the same sweet n’ salt affect, but still delicious! 

Because I’m curious…. 

*Note, when I say diet…I am not inferring any kind of restriction. I’m simply interested in knowing what kind of eater you are!
