These paleo chocolate cupcakes are amazingly decadent. I adore chocolate, it really should be considered its own food group. Chocolate makes me happy, the smell, the taste...I can't imagine life without it!

These cupcakes come together easily and are well worth the measuring and probably a bit of cacao powder on your counters. Make them for a party or just because you are craving a treat. Using raw cacao powder and almond flour makes them so much more nutrient dense than traditional chocolate cupcakes. Your body will relish the treat.

  1. Prepare cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a large bowl: Combine almond and tapioca flour, cacao, baking soda, espresso powder, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  4. In a medium bowl: Combine eggs, milk, sugar, ghee, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Should be smooth, no lumps.
  5. Pour the liquid mix into the dry mix and stir well. Once everything is well incorporated add the chocolate chips. Using a large ice cream scoop or spoon pour into the cupcake liners.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. Prepare the frosting. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and using an electric mixer beat together.
  8. Start on low to prevent the cacao powder and powdered sugar from going everywhere.
  9. Once smooth frost the cupcakes using a small offset spatula.
