Quick and easy Paleo Strawberry Cupcakes are perfect for your holiday celebrations! We love making these nut-free cupcakes for Valentine’s day, Easter Sunday, and Passover. Made with only 7 ingredients, this easy paleo dessert recipe can be whipped up in a few minutes! To make this paleo cupcake recipe you’ll need coconut flour, fresh strawberries, eggs, honey, vanilla, salt, and baking soda.
If you haven’t baked much and you’re wondering how to make cupcakes this is a great recipe for beginners. I haven’t tried making these as egg-free cupcakes, but I do have a vegan cupcake recipe in my second book, Gluten-Free Cupcakes. The image above with the darling polka dotted cupcake liner is based on an image from that book. I love these adorable cupcake liners, which come in a variety of colors and I buy them online.

- ½ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped strawberries

- In a food processor, pulse together coconut flour, salt, and baking soda
- Pulse in eggs, honey, and vanilla until thoroughly combined

My boys gobbled up these Paleo Strawberry Cupcakes, and said they loved the chunks of real strawberries in each one! They also were very happy with the creamy White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting piled on top.
I know we all have different allergies and food restrictions. However, I don’t know if this recipe will work with substitutions for coconut flour, eggs, or any of the other ingredients. Unfortunately, the only way I can customize a recipe and know if certain ingredients will work in it is to test, test, test!

These cupcakes were great! After getting started making the recipe, I realized I was almost out of honey so I used mostly maple syrup. I also doubled the recipe. Coconut whipped cream with a bit of vanilla and orange extract went perfect with them. Thanks, Elana!!!
Carol says
Everyone loved the cupcakes. I used the coconut whipped cream frosting. Of course I added the slice of strawberries on the top.
Julie says
Made these last night. So good, and they are fine without frosting!
Kristin says
Can you please post the recipe for the frosting you used on these cupcakes? Thanks!
Chrissy says
In her cupcake cookbook, Elana uses a whipped cream frosting with little strawberry chunks in it. It’s 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2T of agave nectar whipped until soft peaks form. I’m trying it with honey today!
Jamie says
Made the cupcakes over the weekend for a small family gathering. There were SO good! I cannot wait for the frosting recipe. :-)
Mary says
recipe for frosting? Looks delicious!
Lynn | The Road to Honey says
What a pretty little cupcake and a bonus that they are made with clean ingredients. Like you boys, I too would be delighted by the strawberry surprises uncovered with each bite.
Cheyenne says
Any idea how I could you liquid stevia in this recipe?

I think I would just leave the recipe as is……that’s why I read food blogs, I let the blogger do the testing for me =) I love how moist these strawberry cupcakes look! Absolutely delicious looking, moist and all. That’s my biggest gripe against paleo desserts, they don’t seem to dessert-ish. These do! I think I struck gold here .
