What You'll Need

INGREDIENTS:

Ingredients

For the chocolate cupcakes:

1 pack Emmy's Organics Vanilla Chocolate Covered Coconut Cookie Bites
1 ½ cups oat flour
1 cup cacao powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sea salt
1 cup nut milk
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
¼ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup maple syrup

For the cashew cream frosting:

1 ½ cups soaked cashews
¼ cup maple syrup
1 can coconut milk (just the solid part)
¼ cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cupcake tray with liners and set aside.

2. Combine all wet ingredients in a large bowl, whisking until completely combined.

3. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing just until your dough has formed and no lumps remain.

4. Divide the dough amongst the cupcake tins. Then, place in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until baked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

5. Using a small spoon, gently stick it in the center of each muffin, hollowing out a little hole. Then, stick an Emmy’s Vanilla Cookie inside.

6. To make the cashew frosting, combine all ingredients in a food processor, processing until completely smooth. Frost each cupcake.

7. Enjoy!
