Single Serve Paleo Vanilla Cupcake
Single Serve Paleo Vanilla Cupcake
I am so excited to be sharing another recipe from my Single Serve Dessert eCookbook launching on June 21st! I have 25 delicious and diverse recipes down….with 15 more to go!
If this is the first time you are hearing of my eCookbook, I wrote a post on it last month with more details. To make a long story short, I am writing my first eCookbook all focused on healthy single serve desserts. There will be gluten free, paleo, and vegan options inside!
It’s been a lot of fun and really tasty coming up with all of these recipes Last week I developed a Single Serve Paleo Cupcake and I just HAVE TO SHARE.
Paleo baking is not the easiest. You’re dealing with NO GRAINS…..say whaaaa. If any of you are paleo, I’m sure you agree with this! So, when I nailed this recipe after testing it about 6 times…I did a happy dance and pretty much haven’t stopped since.
I’ve tested both cashew meal and almond meal….which I purchased from Trader Joe’s. I prefer the cashew meal for this because it’s a bit lighter, but almond works!
This DELICIOUS cupcake for one is:
- paleo
- gluten free
- grain free
- dairy free
- oil free
- refined sugar free
- FULL OF FLAVA FLAV
Ingredients for Single Serve Paleo Vanilla Cupcake
- cashew meal
- coconut sugar
- baking powder
- vanilla
- honey
- egg whites
- applesauce
- cocoa powder
- chocolate protein powder
- coconut sugar
- honey
- milk
For some natural sprinkles- I used hemp seeds.
Because I’ve been using hemp seeds on everything lately! And they actually resemble sprinkles.
The frosting that i made is actually insane. It’s made from cocoa powder, your favorite chocolate protein powder, coconut sugar, honey, and non-dairy milk. 73 calories and 6 whole grams of protein in a single serving! DAYUM.
I’ve been going back and forth on if I should make the “baked goods” in the eCookbook all microwave friendly. I have come to the conclusion that everything baked in the oven is 100 times better. Things cook more evenly, they are much more moist, and overall just better. I have a few microwave desserts in the book, though. So- don’t fret!
