Baby’s 1st Birthday: Gluten-Free Cupcakes with Whipped Strawberry Coconut Frosting

2 Comments

Paleo | Grain-Free | Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free

The birthday girl! Baby's 1st Birthday Gluten-Free Cupcakes with Whipped Strawberry Coconut FrostingWhen my second turned the big numero uno two years whole ago (I’m super late writing this – such is my life), I was stumped as to what I’d make to celebrate her transition into toddlerhood. With the exception of sneaking a bite or two of dog kibble (I wish I were kidding), she had been grain-free from day one.

Why grain-free?

Well, as it turns out, grains are no bueno for bambinos (don’t ask me why I keep writing in Spanish – it’s just happening). Read all about that here along with the best first foods to feed your baby.

But I digress – back to the birthday cake conundrum.

Baby's First #GlutenFree #Cupcake #Recipe from www.mixwellness.com So, yeah – I ob-stressed for a while in search of the perfect grain-free birthday cupcake with no refined sugar.

She really wasn’t into sweets back then (and still isn’t for that matter – don’t ask me how), so in all honestly, we could have probably gotten away with a sh*tty cake from the grocery store and I could have saved myself a BUTTLOAD of time and stress.

But that’s no fun, is it? Plus, I love a good challenge.

After some test runs with my oldest – the one with the sweet tooth – we deemed this recipe a winner.

And since we were headed straight into strawberry-picking season (our favorite time of the year!), fresh strawberry frosting was the natural choice.

I still can’t believe it took me 2 years to share this recipe with you. Forgive me?

Ingredients
  1. Frosting Ingredients
  2. ½ can full fat organic coconut milk (buy here), refrigerated
  3. 1 tbsp. cold water soluble grass-fed gelatin (buy here)
  4. 1 tbsp. raw (local, ideally) honey (buy here)
  5. ½ cup strawberry puree from thawed, frozen strawberries (you can use fresh berries, but the thawing action makes the puree less chunky)

  6. Cupcake Ingredients
  7. 1 cup coconut flour (buy here)
  8. ½ tsp. baking soda (buy here)
  9. ½ tsp. Celtic sea salt (buy here)
  10. 8 large pastured eggs
  11. 2/3 cup melted coconut oil (buy here)
  12. 2/3 cup raw (ideally local) honey (buy here)
  13. ¼ cup reserved coconut milk (from frosting - see recipe) (buy here)
  14. 2 tbsp. vanilla extract (buy here)
Instructions
  1. For the frosting, scoop the hardened coconut milk into bowl (reserving the remaining liquid for cupcakes). Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment (like this one), begin mixing on high.
  2. Slowly add gelatin in constant stream, followed by honey. Continue mixing until soft peaks form - about 10 minutes. (Makes approximately 2 cups of frosting)
  3. For the cupcakes, preheat oven to 350°F.
  4. Combine all the dry ingredients and blend well.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a mixer (like this one) to blend well. Let the batter sit for a few minutes and mix once more.
  6. Fill silicone cupcake liners (like these) about 3/4 of the way with batter.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  8. Cool and then frost.

    Hi – I love your recipes- thank you for sharing. I made strawberry frosting recently and at a friend’s suggestion, used freeze-dried strawberries. They were amazing for intense color and strawberry flavor. So much so that I hardly needed any sweetener. The powderiness of the puréed dried straeberries also serves as a bit of a thickener which I found to be helpful. I was really happy with the results – it’s something I never would have thought of on my own!
