Servings: 8 regular cupcakes
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

• 1/2 cup Tropical Traditions Coconut Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
• 1/2 cup Tropical Traditions Raw Honey, softened
• 1/4 cup Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, softened
• 2 heaping tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4-5 drops orange essential oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl combine dry ingredients. In a standing mixer combine all wet ingredients and mix well. Add dry ingredients in and mix again for 2 minutes.

Fill cupcake liners 1/3 full and bake till golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Test to be sure of doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of a cupcake, it should come out clean.

Let cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting. (Pictured is a vanilla-orange palmcream frosting.)
