Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Paleo Vanilla Cupcakes as is, or frost them with your favorite Paleo-friendly frosting if desired.
