Hi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I baked these no-fuss healthy cassava flour chocolate cupcakes that are:
– gluten-free
– vegan*
– dairy-free
– egg-free
– grain-free
– nut-free
– refined-sugar free
– banana-free
– no mixer required

*substitute honey with maple syrup.

This recipe was inspired by Otto’s Naturals’ Chocolate Cake recipe<\/a> – with modifications to the ingredients and portions.

With few & high quality ingredients, these turned out really delicious.
I hope you try it out and enjoy it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
