Gluten Free, Vegan Coconut Lime Cupcakes

I’m lucky that my wheat allergy is mild so I can sometimes get away with eating a bit of wheat; not the case when it comes to my egg reaction though! This is always a tricky combination as so much gluten free baking has egg added for lightness and binding. A lot of the first attempts that combine gluten free and vegan were a tad brick like.  After a bit of playing around we’re really happy with these. Sweet, moist and fabulous topped with lime and coconut buttercream frosting.

The other consideration is that gluten free cakes don’t stay fresh in the same way as traditional baking. So we find that the best solution is to freeze half the batch straight away and thaw and ice as needed.

Gluten Free, Vegan Coconut Lime Cupcakes

This is a great combination – coconut and lime go so well together, sweet and tart. Don't forget - if you are cooking for anyone with celiac or gluten allergy make sure your baking soda and powder are gluten free too! Free From: Gluten, Eggs, Dairy, Soya

Gluten Free, Vegan Coconut Lime Cupcakes Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cup plain gluten free flour - I like Doves Farm
  • ¾ cup desiccated coconut
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
  • 1 tsp gluten free baking soda
  • ½ tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1 ½ tsp coconut extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¾ cup Koko or any non-dairy milk topped up to make a cup with the juice of two limes
  • 6 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
  • Zest of two limes (finely chopped)
  • ½ tsp Apple Cider
Directions
Step 1
Line a muffin tin with cupcake holders
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 170°C 340°F
Step 3
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, zest, coconut and Xanthan Gum.
Step 4
Add in the melted coconut oil, milk/juice combination, apple cider vinegar, coconut extract and mix for a few minutes. The batter will be quite runny.
Step 5
Fill muffin holders ¾ the way fill and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. I find an ice cream scoop is perfect for this.
Step 6
Leave to cool in the tin for ten minutes and then on a wire rack
Step 7
Top with vegan buttercream frosting with a tablespoon of lime juice and the zest of one lime added in.

Here they are out of the oven:

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
