Step 1

Preheating the oven ensures that the cupcakes bake evenly and properly. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for cupcakes.

Step 2

Prepare the cupcake batter: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda and salt. Whisk and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, add the eggs, melted butter, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup or honey.

Step 4

Whisk the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Add to the dry ingredients to the bowl and whisk again until combined.

Step 5

Take the MINI chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate and toss with 2 tbsp of arrowroot powder to coat the chocolate. This will ensure the chocolate is scattered throughout the batter and doesn’t sink to the bottom.

Step 6

Add the chocolate (coated with arrowroot) to the batter + stir!

Step 7

Line a cupcake tray with paper liners. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the cupcake batter evenly among the cups. Filling each liner about two-thirds full allows room for the cupcakes to rise during baking without overflowing.

Step 8

Bake the cupcakes: Place the cupcake tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 – 17 minutes. As the cupcakes bake, keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking. Near the end of the baking time, you can perform a toothpick test to check for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it, the cupcakes are done.

Step 9

Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tray for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. Cooling on a wire rack helps air circulate around the cupcakes, preventing them from becoming soggy.

Step 10

Prepare the chocolate frosting: While the cupcakes are cooling, it’s time to prepare the chocolate frosting. Use this Vegan Chocolate Frosting or this Easy Vanilla Buttercream with 1/4 cup cocoa powder mixed in.

Step 11

Frost the cupcakes: Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, they are ready to be frosted. Fill a piping bag with the prepared chocolate frosting and attach a decorating tip of your choice. Alternatively, you can use a spatula to spread the frosting over the cupcakes.

Step 12

Decorate the cupcakes (optional): To add extra flair, you can decorate the cupcakes with additional mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or other desired toppings. Sprinkle them over the frosted cupcakes to enhance their appearance and add a touch of fun. Feel free to get creative and let your imagination run wild with the decorations!
