Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Orange Flower Frosting

  • 1 cup coconut fat put a can of coconut milk in the fridge to become chilled, then open and take the fat from the top. Reserve the remaining liquid for curries, soups, etc
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon orange flower water optional
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • zest from one medium orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin tray with paper liners or oil thoroughly.
  2. Sift all dry ingredients together in medium bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, honey and vanilla.
  4. Mix wet ingredients into dry.
  5. Split batter into muffin tray, and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool, then spoon icing on top.
  7. Garnish as you see fit! I used a slice of kumquat that I quickly caramelized on my gas range, but you could use coconut flakes, other fresh fruit, chopped nuts, cocoa powder... anything delicious.
