Ingredients

• heaping cup of chocolate chips
• 1 cup of salted butter
• 1 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups of cocoa powder

Icing

• 1 cup of salted butter
• 2 1/2 tablespoons of agave or honey
• 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla
• 3 – 3 1/2 cups of icing sugar

First – gather you ingredients and use a high quality cocoa powder – it’ll make all the difference.

Next – melt the chocolate chips with the butter on 50% power in the microwave. Be sure to stir every 30 seconds. Once it’s melted, stir in the sugars.

Now add in each egg and the cocoa powder. Stir well.

Dish out into foil baking liners. The main reason you’ll want to use foil liners is because this gluten free recipe has a tendency to stick to the paper liners…thus, foil.

Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes. Make the icing while they are cooking.

Beat the butter, agave and vanilla together. Slowly add in the sugar. Done!

Once the cupcakes have cooled, ice away!
