Grain-Free, Coconut, Orange, Vanilla Cupcakes

Servings: 8 regular cupcakes
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Tropical Traditions coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
• 1/2 cup Tropical Traditions raw honey, softened
• 1/4 cup Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, softened
• 2 heaping tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs, (large)
• 1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a standing mixer, combine all wet ingredients and mix well. Add dry ingredients in and mix again for two minutes.

Fill cupcake liners 1/3 full and bake till golden brown (approximately 15 minutes). Test to be sure of doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of a cupcake. It should come out clean.

Let cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting. (Pictured is a vanilla-orange palm-cream frosting.)
