    Place the chickpeas, rapadura sugar and coconut oil in the TM bowl and process for 30 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl. 

     

    Add the coconut flour, cacao, arrowroot, baking powder, sea salt and grated zucchini and mix 30 seconds on Reverse, speed 4. 

     

    Spoon into cupcake papers or cake tin and bake for 35 minutes for cupcakes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.

Tip

This is great topped with Quirky Cooking Gooey Chocolate Icing which is also dairy & sugar free.  Alternatively you could dust with Icing Sugar as the cakes are nice and chocolaty on their own.

 

 

I like to warm these cupcakes in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and enjoy them warm and gooey.

  • Seems like there is something

    Submitted by gildert on 16. March 2014 - 14:22.

    Seems like there is something missing from this recipe like an egg or oil as the batter was very dry and the finished product wasn't like a muffin at all.

  • Forgot to make the desiccated

    Submitted by moomin on 9. November 2013 - 22:24.

    Forgot to make the desiccated coconut into flour but it still worked well.  Delicious.  Added a tablespoon of sugar to the icing. Hubby liked it - didn't have a clue about the zucchini and chick peas.  Thanks,  great recipe.

  • Mel, I make my coconut flour

    Submitted by ThermoCreations on 4. September 2013 - 22:17.

    Mel, I make my coconut flour using shredded coconut as I kind of figure it will grab and chop better in the TM, but i'm sure dessicated will work. I have bought coconut oil in a healthfood store and Costco (for those in Sydney).

    I love the look of this recipe, but don't eat legumes. Does anyone know what could be used instead of chickpeas? Thanks in advance.
