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! 

PIN ME FOR LATER!
