When we followed an Autoimmune diet (AIP), coming up with delicious desserts for birthday parties was one of our main struggle.

    I have made these 2 times so far and I LOVE them! I threw all of the cupcake ingredients (besides chocolate chips) into the blender until smooth, then stirred the chocolate chips into the batter before scooping into muffin cups. I have made different toppings each time – one time I used the rest of a can of coconut cream and blended it with the raspberries and cocoa powder to make delicious ‘frosting’ and the other time, I just made the chocolate ganache but blended the raspberries into it. Both were delicious and eaten very quickly in my house!

    • Lindsay, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and your results. I love the way you made your icing with raspberries and coconut cream.

    We used apple sauce instead of banana and the result was a thick batter not a dough. The cupcake were pudding in the end. Will try with banana next time. Or do we add more of the flours until it becomes a dough?

    • So sorry it didn’t turn ok for you. I think that you might need extra flour if your dough was more like a batter. How much applesauce did you use?Did you make any other substitutions?
