Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup canned coconut milk
⅓ cup unrefined coconut oil
1 cup cane sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon extract
1 ½ cups brown rice flour
½ teaspoon gluten-free baking soda
½ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ (16 ounce) container lemon frosting
½ cup coconut flakes
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Stir coconut milk and coconut oil in a small skillet over low heat until liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Stir in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until combined.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to coconut milk mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Put icing in a plastic bag and snip off one of the bottom corners. Squeeze icing onto cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with coconut flakes and lemon peel.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cupcakes were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as fluffy as I hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra oil next time.

I'm not a vegan, but these cupcakes were so good, I didn't even miss the eggs or butter. The coconut flavor really shines through, and the lemon glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
