Here’s another sneak peek recipe from my digital cookbook, The Grain-Free Snacker.  I adore cupcakes.  This cupcake is made with coconut flour (my favourite grain-free flour).

I love using coconut flour as the base of my grain-free cupcakes and muffins.  The texture is amazing if you use the correct ratios. These cupcakes will remind you of the light and fluffy cupcakes from your pre-grain-free life.  And the chocolate chip cookie icing adds extra indulgence.

How to Make Coconut Flour Cupcakes

4. With the mixer on, slowly add the egg yolk mixture to the whipped egg whites. Last, add the chocolate chips. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the cupcake pan, about half full.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are firm to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
