Ingredients
- CUPCAKES
3 cups almond flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- FROSTING
3/4 cup cooked sweet potato
1/2 pitted avocado
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1 cup cacao powder
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla together. Whisk in warm water, about a tablespoon at a time. Pour into dry mix and fully incorporate.
- Fill a cupcake pan with liners 3/4 of the way with batter and top with chocolate chips. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- To make the frosting, add the sweet potato, avocado, almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla to a blender. Blend on high speed until fluffy. You can also do this with a hand mixer.
- When cupcakes are cooled, remove from pan and frost. Top with extra chocolate chips and store in refrigerator.

These are our favorite chocolate paleo cupcakes. I make them at least 2 times a month alternating between the banana chocolate chip bread, and the millionaire squares which are phenomenal. Thank you, Jenn for making these delicious sweet treats to share with us all.
