Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 large eggs
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
1/2 cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons firmly packed orange zest
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 11 muffin cups with paper liners.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grapeseed oil, agave nectar, and orange zest. Blend the wet ingredients into the coconut flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined, then stir in the rosemary.

    Step 3

    Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.

    Step 4

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour, then serve.
