I want to begin with saying that the cupcakes and frosting themselves tasted good, however, this website is extremely misleading on what the appearance and flavor of these cupcakes are. First off, the images look literally nothing like the cupcakes you’ll make. I’ve been doing grain free baking long enough now to be able to spot the visual difference between baked goods made with grains and without grains. The cupcakes in the images are very obviously made with grains. I am extremely disappointed in the creator of this website for posting images of cupcakes that were made with a completely different recipe. As for the flavor, the frosting has a heavy coconut flavor, which I had expected. As I said, in the beginning the cupcakes with the frosting do taste good, just understand that it is going to taste more like a vanilla coconut cupcake, and not just a purely vanilla cupcake. The reason I’m rating this two stars is because, even though the cupcakes themselves tasted good, they looked nothing like the images and had a flavor profile that is different than what is advertised. This website is deceptive to a disgusting degree. What’s so baffling to me is that these taste and look good so why not just be honest and post the actual real images for this recipe? Why not just be honest about the flavor profile? I’m not going to discourage you from trying this recipe, I do believe that it taste good, just know it’s going to taste like a vanilla coconut cupcake. I personally won’t be using any other recipes from this website considering how obviously dishonest they are.

Rating so no one else wastes their ingredients and money. Red flag that no photos were included of the process or pre-baked batter. I wish there were measurements in grams to ensure things were accurate. Also, lemon juice and baking soda can’t just be added to a bowl and stirred to combine. They interact if you don’t add ingredients methodically. Disappointed.

Half the 5 star comments here are from people who haven’t even made this recipe. This was a complete fail. The batter was curdled and too wet, the cupcakes came out greasy and sunken in. Such a waste of a lot of expensive ingredients.

Hello,
I’m planning to make these for an event, but have to make them two days in advance as I won’t have time to make them on the same day as the event. Will the frosted cupcakes keep well in the fridge for two days?

Thank you!

So incredibly delicious and VERY EASY. I’ve tried several grain-free recipes that tend to use a lot of extra ingredients. These are simple and come out perfectly each time. These are getting made weekly in our home now. THANK YOU.

In reply to Carrie. I am so glad to hear that, Carrie! I would recommend adding in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and removing 1 tablespoon coconut flour. I haven't tried this so please let me know how it goes!

Hey Addison, we love these cupcakes!! They are the only ones I have been making for the last couple of years bc we do not typically use nut flours in our grain-free baking! Do you have any suggestions for the best way to make a chocolate version of them? I would assume adding cocoa powder, but I am not sure how much to add and if other adjustments to the recipe would be needed! This recipe is perfect and I don’t want to mess it up, but would love to make chocolate too!!

In reply to Dawn. Thank you! I used the regular sized cans. They are linked in the post, about 13.66 ounces each. Enjoy!

Did you use the large or small cans of coconut cream for these? They look delicious and husband agrees
