I need a cupcake recipe, vanilla or chocolate, that uses almond flour. Love Elana's recipes, but just found out that my daughter is allergic to coconut and can't use the ones she has on her website. Love the flavor of almond flour, but can't find a recipe anywhere that uses it in cupcakes. Help! Her birthday is coming up...

I tried the cherry apricot cake and it was terrific- great texture and flavor. It's a "snack" cake but you could bake it in a cupcake pan- leave out the dried fruit if you want, and then add your favorite frosting.

Elana has a "Very Vanilla Cupcakes" recipe in her new cookbook
, but not sure if she would appreciate us posting recipes from it onto the forum. If she says okay, then I'd be willing to type it out for you.
I did search online to see if anything else came up and I saw this one ("Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes") that might work out for you, and it's her recipe. :)

Just an FYI...I didn't have grapeseed oil at the time I purchased the book and I wanted to try these cupcakes asap...I used walnut oil in place of the grapeseed oil and it gave the cupcakes an amazing flavor!!!

I agree about using nut oils. I love the La Tourangelle Roasted Almond Oil and occasionally use that in her recipes, and "amazing flavor" is right on! :)

Wow. I don't have these nut oils, just the Hazelnut Oil I bought to make nutella. I read in The Paleo Diet that Walnut Oil is really good for Omega 3's.

I make Elana's Very Vanilla Cupcakes almost daily as a high protein nutritious breakfast on the go. My daughter is on the Specific Carb Diet so we never put Elana's cookbook in the cupboard,,, One really good tip is to substitute 1 cup of white beans (cooked) for one of the cups of flour. (Elana calls for 2.5 cups) I blend the beans, eggs, vanilla, oil, lemon juice until smooth and fold into the dry ingredients. The beans give the cupcakes and AMAZING cake-like texture. I increase the baking soda to encourage the beans to rise. Using Elana's chocolate frosting recipe makes these and unbelievable treat and so nourishing...Hope this helps!

How long has your daughter been on the SCD? Do you soak the beans and cook them yourself? Does your daughter tolerate the chocolate icing ok? My daughter is celiac and on the SCD also. My husband and I are doing the diet too, and it's been 7 1/2 weeks.
