Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut lightly sweetened or unsweetened
  • 2.5 cups gluten free multi-purpose flour we used Better Batter
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cups coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut water
  • 1/2 cup palm oil shortening
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix your dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add the sugar and shortening to a mixer and mix on low until well combined.
  4. Add your eggs to the mixer and mix until smooth.
  5. Next add your coconut cream and milk/water.
  6. Add your vanilla.
  7. Add your dry ingredients, one cup at a time and mix on medium until well combined.
  8. Fill your cupcake pan 3/4 full. If you're not using cupcake liners, add some coconut oil or nonstick spray to keep the cupcakes from sticking to the pan.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean they're finished cooking.
  10. Let them cool completely.
  11. While they're cooling, line a baking sheet with shredded coconut.
  12. Let the coconut bake for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  13. Let the shredded coconut cool completely.
  14. Frost the cupcakes with vanilla frosting and either sprinkle the toasted coconut on top or dip the frosted cupcake into a bowl of toasted coconut.
  15. Enjoy!!
