Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting
Makes: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
3 eggs, separated and at room temperature
4 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon honey or other natural sweetener
Ganache Frosting:
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
1/2 cup coconut oil
Chocolate chips for decorating (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180 C, then line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
Melt the coconut oil and chocolate together in a small pan, then transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
Beat the egg yolks and 4 tablespoons honey until light and thick, then fold into the chocolate mixture and clean out the mixing bowl.
Beat the whites and 1 tablespoon of honey until stiff peaks form, fold into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely (cupcakes will crack and settle slightly).
Prepare the frosting:
Place the chocolate in a medium bowl; set aside. Heat the almond milk and coconut oil in a small saucepan until hot. Immediately pour over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
Whisk until smooth and well blended. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Use an electric mixer to beat to a frosting-like consistency; pipe atop the cupcakes. Top each cupcake with a chocolate chip, if desired.
