Ingredients

Here's what you need to make this paleo vanilla cupcake recipe:

How to Make Paleo Vanilla Cupcakes

To make these cupcakes, you'll need two mixing bowls, a whisk, spatula, lined muffin/cupcake pan and the necessary ingredients. Here's what you need to do:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners and set aside.

Next, combine the flour, coconut sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, coconut milk, vanilla and apple cider vinegar.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.

Then, pour the cupcake batter into the lined muffin pan. Each cupcake slot should be filled about half way (making 12 cupcakes). Fill too full, and the cupcakes will pour over the side of the paper cup when baking.

Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes.

After baking, let the cupcakes cool a couple minutes in the baking pan, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.

Storage

These cupcakes are best kept in an air-tight container in the fridge. They last well up to one week.

Paleo Cupcake Frosting

I used a store-bought frosting for this recipe, but I have many great paleo frosting recipes on my site. Here are a few options for frosting these paleo cupcakes:

• vanilla frosting made with non-hydrogenated shortening
• chocolate frosting made with coconut cream
• vanilla frosting made with coconut cream
