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

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.
