Prep: 12 minCook: 18 minTotal: 33 min
Servings: 10 cupcakes 1x
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted oat flour (Kitchen Hack: How to Make Oat Flour)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk (dairy milk, nut milk, or oat milk works)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil
Topping
- 1 batch of Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or favorite frosting
- mini candy eggs
- super-fine unsweetened shredded coconut
- green food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with liners.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl – be sure to sift the oat flour! This makes for the lightest texture.
- In a smaller bowl, mix the vinegar and milk. Allow to sit for 2 minutes before adding the other wet ingredients and whisking.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined into a thick cupcake batter.
- Spoon the batter into muffin liners and bake for 18 minutes or until golden and risen in the center.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before piping the frosting on top.
- Place the coconut in a small bowl with the food coloring and mix until the coconut is colorful.
- To decorate, sprinkle the colorful coconut around the edge of the cupcakes to create a “nest” effect. Place a few mini eggs into the nest and serve!
