Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups organic all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup organic granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup organic brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.75 cup organic buttermilk
- 0.5 cup organic coconut oil (melted)
- 2 large organic eggs
- 2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup hot organic coffee (or hot water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the organic all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cupcakes stay light and fluffy.
Slowly stir in the hot coffee (or hot water) until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with your favorite organic frosting and enjoy!
