Coconut Cupcakes



These cupcakes are amazing! I added a simple chocolate frosting below but you can use whatever frosting you would like!

What you need:
 2/3 cup coconut oil (heated until in liquid form)
1 1/2 cup sugar
Egg replacer equivalent of 2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cup coconut milk

What to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together coconut oil and sugar. Add egg replacer slowly and beat in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Then add the flour mix to the liquid mix. Slowly add coconut milk until combined. Cool and then frost with a frosting of your choice!
 
Chocolate Frosting ingredients:
1/3 cup vegan butter, softened
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa powder
about 2 cups powdered sugar (depending on how thick you like your frosting)

What to do:
Mix all ingredients. Add powdered sugar last. Powdered sugar is hard to measure out for frosting, so just keep adding until it's at the consistency you want.
