gluten free vegan mini coconut snowball cupcakes

February 8, 2014 by Sarah 1 Comment

Say “I love you” with a batch of these ADORABLE mini coconut snowball cupcakes! Perfect for your Valentine. These gluten, dairy, and egg free cupcakes are complete deliciousness, wrapped up in a bite-size treat. Tiny flakes of coconut are not only in the cupcake batter, that they also coat the fluffy vanilla buttercream. A snowball you will surely want to eat!

My husband, who is not a fan of coconut, loved these cupcakes! I think it’s because the coconut used in this recipe is so light that you don’t get those large shavings of coconut. Plus, it looks like powdery white snow. These mini cupcakes are just about as cute as can be, if you ask me.

*For best results on texture and taste, be sure to make the lighter flour blend by replacing the 2 cups sweet white sorghum flour with white rice flour.
