Elana’s Gluten-Free Cupcakes, 50 Irresistible Recipes Made With Almond and Coconut Flour

By

Sometimes you’ve just gotta eat a cupcake. Am I right? That was me this morning. Must-eat-cupcake-now 🙂 And what better way than a grain-free, protein and fiber packed cupcake? So I made my friend Elana’s vanilla cupcakes from her new cookbook. If you haven’t heard, Elana’s new cookbook, Gluten-Free Cupcakes, 50 Irresistible Recipes Made With Almond and Coconut Flour is available to pre-order now at a big discount. For only a little while longer it costs only $9.00. So get ‘um while they’re hot folks. This book is awesome. I can’t wait to make another recipe!
I topped Elana’s vanilla cupcakes with a variation of this frosting, minus the orange peel, and with a little English Toffee liquid stevia. Elana also has excellent frostings in her new book. In the introduction she advises India Tree natural food coloring, and that’s exactly how I colored this frosting. I even topped it with India Tree sprinkles. Zoe and Ashley were so excited 🙂

  1. Mmmm, I wish we lived closer so I could have one! Lovely photo too! 🙂

    Elana’s new book is a “must have” for healthy, gluten-free eating!

  4. Oh yes! This looks beautiful:) I’m excited about Elana’s book too. I’ve yet to try baking with coconut flour, but I heard that it’s really good!

  5. Absolutely stunning, Kelly! I just keep looking at that photo. I’d like to grab it for breakfast! Like Elana’s title says, it’s irresistible. 🙂 I made a plainer Jane version in comparison–Elana’s Marble Cupcakes–although I know you like Marble cakes, too. 😉 They were terrific. So glad that Elana created this cookbook … it’s wonderful!

  6. I have had her book pre-ordered from Amazon for quite some time. I am so happy to hear that it is getting close to distribution time!

  8. I totally just preordered this! 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us kelly, I’m sure there were a lot of key boards that have suffered from drool recently after looking at these photos! lol

  10. I made Elana’s vanilla cupcakes last week. They were muffin-like because I didn’t frost them. They lasted two days in a household of two! I loved ’em!
