My best gluten free cup cake recipe

Cupcakes are my all time favorite pastry and I have been trying to make a recipe that is both gluten free and healthier than the ones you buy. These chocolate cupcakes are so good. I have finally succeeded making fluffy, moist cupcakes without any gluten or white sugar. Yeay!

Healthy frosting

The chocolate frosting is made with Tigernut butter, but you can substitute it with any other nut butter you like. Tigernut butter is so good and its free from nuts even though the name is Tigernut. It’s actually a root from south Africa and it is filled with nutrients. I love it! I often take a spoon from the jar and eat it just as it is. It’s naturally sweet and tastes a little like homemade cookies.
