No Flour Added Rich Chocolate Cupcakes by piggyinkitchen

This chocolate cupcake is incredibly delicious and mouth-melting!
If you're a chocolate lover, you would love it for sure ;) It is very rich and chocolatey, though it's made of cacao powder instead of real chocolate chips. Also this is suitable for people who are not sweet tooth since I only used cacao powder and it makes the cupcakes less sweet than the ones with chocolate chips.
So this one is for everyone who loves chocolate or isn't much fan of sweets, to enjoy their shared time together :)

What makes it special is 

  • No flour
  • Gluten free
  • No refined sugar

If you have gluten sensitivity or allergy, don't worry! This is for you.

This is also deceptively easy to bake as well because all you need to do is to mix and bake. That's it. No special skills needed ;)

Now, let me tell you about behind-the-story of this recipe.
To be honest, I was originally planning to bake cheesecake using my original recipe: Raw Matcha Cheesecake (Link below).

 When I baked it, I thought it worked. But when I tasted, I felt like it came out more like chocolate cupcakes, other than cheesecake. I kinda hesitated to share this recipe with you guys because of unexpectation.
However, I loved it so much! It turned out very rich and beautiful chocolate cupcakes. So I decided to share proudly with you all and I really want you to try this out and be happy!

Alright,
