GF CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Position rack in center of oven. Line two 12-serving cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until there are no visible clumps.
• Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for two minutes.
• Stir in boiling water.
• Spoon batter evenly into cupcake wells. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack.
• For the frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add cocoa powder and beat until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Slowly beat in milk. Beat in additional milk if needed, to obtain desired consistency.
• Frost cupcakes.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, coconut, protein powder, sea salt, cinnamon, maple syrup, and three tablespoons of almond milk. Use a fork or electric mixer to combine.
• The consistency should resemble cookie dough. If it's too dry, add in a tablespoon of almond milk. If it's too sticky, add in more oats.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Roll approximately one tablespoon-sized scoop of the mixture into a ball.
• Store inside the fridge or in a container on the countertop.
