    makes 9

Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (73% cacao)
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 9 muffin cups with paper liners.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and agave nectar. Blend the wet ingredients into the coconut flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined, then fold in all of the chocolate chips.

    Step 3

    Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.

    Step 4

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour, then serve.
