  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut milk*
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour

On a stovetop, cook the apple slices in a sauce pan on medium-high heat with a little bit of coconut oil (1/2 tablespoon or more, if needed) for 30 seconds on each side until apples become flexible but not soft. Remove from pan to a plate covered with a paper towel and allow to cool. Then gently press the apple slices into the cupcake batter on top of each cupcake with the peeled edge visible on the top. Start on the outside and work your way inwards to produce a rose effect.

Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 5-7 minutes

Blend all ingredients in blender on high. Will have small “chunks” of coconut cream concentrate – to eliminate those and make it perfectly smooth, first heat the Coconut Cream Concentrate and then add it in its melted state to the smoothie, as it’s finishing blending.

Garnish with additional frozen raspberries.
