- 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
Instructions
- 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!
- Done! Eat up and enjoy this gluten free treat.
