Grain free chocolate muffins and cake

Here is one for cupcakes made of almond flour.  I have altered it a little from the original I found.

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES/Cake

Ingredients (makes about 6 cupcakes 

• 1 cup of almond flour (I use Trader Joe's brand)
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla- (I use Trader Joes or Frontier brand from Whole Foods alcohol free)
• 1/4 teaspoons of cinnamon 
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 1 TBSP Stevia (Trader Joe's or Whole Food's brand of concentrated POWDER FORM)
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (or 1/4 cup of oil)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce(optional but makes it a LOT less dry!)

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl.
2. Mix well.  I use a regular mixer.
3. Pour into greased pie pan or cupcake pans (I like both!)
4. Cook at 350 for about 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean

SO...here is what mine looked like!

I made a little cream cheese frosting to top it off!
Heat up some cream cheese and butter. Then cool it back off in the fridge.   Put a little stevia in and real whipping cream. Mix it all together. It makes a nice little frosting.
