Servings: 28
Preparation Time: 20 Minutes

Optional:

Preheat oven to 350 ° F

Combine dry ingredients in a sifter, set aside. You can also combine them into a bowl and whisk together, if you don’t have a sifter.

Place wet ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat on medium for 1-2 minutes, until frothy and fully combined. Add the zucchini and beat again just enough to incorporate.

Using the sifter, slowly add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer, then run the mixer until all the ingredients are well combined.

Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, top with the optional walnuts and/or chocolate chips. Also, batter could be spooned into muffin liners, fill almost to the top. (Makes approximately 24 cupcakes.)

Bake for 30-35 minutes for cupcakes, or 45-55 minutes for a cake, until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

Serve warm with ice cream, or home made whipped cream.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.

Coconut Banana Cupcakes:

French Buttercream Frosting:

Coconut Banana Cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 °F

Cream butter, coconut oil, sugar and honey together in a large bowl or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. Add bananas and mash with a potato masher until small lumps remain.

In a large bowl, combine coconut flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until just combined.

Spoon into cupcake molds and bake until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.

French Buttercream Frosting:

Add sugar and water to a small saucepan and cook over low heat until sugar has dissolved and it reaches 238 °F. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, cook until it reaches soft ball stage.

In a stand mixer combine egg yolks and salt. Beat on medium-low until light yellow and fluffy. Continue to mix while adding the sugar syrup (pour it in a slow stream near the side of the mixer.) Beat on high speed until the mixture is very light colored, fluffy, and has cooled to body temperature.

Mix in butter and coconut oil to frosting one tablespoon at a time. Once all the butter and coconut oil is incorporated, add vanilla extract and mix gently. Spoon into a piping bag and frost cupcakes. Garnish with chopped or shredded coconut as desired.

When all of the onion rings are coated, bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly browned. Sprinkle on additional salt, if desired. Serve hot.
