Gluten Free Chocolate Sunbutter Cupcakes
Lately I’ve been craving CUPCAKES, so I decided to make a velvety chocolate sunbutter handheld treat 🙂 These delicious cupcakes will have you wanting seconds and thirds! They are gluten and soy-free and easy to digest. The base of these decadent cakes is packed with healthy fats + protein that will fill your tummy with nutrient-dense ingredients.
Sunflower seed butter is a great source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin E and magnesium. The protein + good fats keep you satiated + energized. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps slow the aging process and reduces cell damage in our bodies. Magnesium is an important mineral in our bodies that promotes sleep, muscle recovery, and healthy digestion + elimination.
You can decorate your cupcakes with shredded coconut, edible shimmer dust or flowers like I did, or get creative and add chopped walnuts, dried berries or mini chocolate chips! These cupcakes also work well as muffins, just eliminate the frosting and store in your fridge for a quick breakfast bite or an afternoon snack. There’s very little sugar, and if you’re Keto, you can eliminate the sugar altogether and add your sweetener of choice (I like stevia or monk fruit). I hope you enjoy these delicious little treats just as much as I do!
