Equipment
- muffin/cupcake pan
- silicone baking cups
- mixing bowls
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp vanilla powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup un-sweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup tigernut flour
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 whole lemon zested
- 1 gelatin egg
For the gelatin egg: (for vegan, sub for flax egg)
- 2 tbsp boiling water
- 1 tbsp gelatin
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For the frosting:
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1 cup palm oil shortening
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut milk
To garnish:
- 8 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
For the gelatin egg:
- Place the gelatin in a bowl and slowly add in the boiling water while whisking the water in. Whisk until an egg like consistency forms (1 min.) Do not stop whisking or one big clump will form and you will have to start over.
For the cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350. I suggest using silicone muffin liners as paper ones will stick to the cupcake. Mix all dry ingredients, then mix in all wet ingredients. Divide the batter into 8 cupcakes. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.
For the frosting:
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a handheld mixer until a frosting consistency forms.
To garnish:
- Frost with a piping bag or spoon and place the rosemary sprigs upside down. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds to add a fun touch. ENJOY!
Notes
Place the cupcakes in the fridge for up to a week. I suggest waiting to frost them prior to eating.
