I am beyond tickled to announce the forthcoming publication of my second book Gluten-Free Cupcakes
When my editor and I settled on a recipe list for the book, the first thing I did was print out two copies, one for each of the boys. They sat on the couch, read through the list, and then I queried them, “Which recipes do you like? Are there any that you want removed? Are we missing anything?”
My two little editors-in-chief, had quite a lot of feedback for me. Baseball Cupcakes easily made the cut. Then the concept of a cheesecake cupcake was added by my younger son, and a marble cupcake was added by my older son. That’s just a highlight of our late night conversations, late night being before 9pm in our house, at least when it comes to children. Many a night after the boys were in bed, I was up baking cupcakes until 2 or 3 am.
Below is my recipe for these amazing nut-free Strawberry Cupcakes from Gluten-Free Cupcakes

My favorite recipe in Gluten-Free Cupcakes is the Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes which are not only gluten and grain-free, but egg-free too!
Here are some of my easy paleo dessert recipes that use strawberries!

I can’t wait to receive my copy of your new book. My sister-in-law pre-ordered it for me as a gift.
Made your chocolate cupcakes this past weekend for our teenage employees and they vanished within seconds.

So beautiful, as is the rest of your new book! Feel super special to have the preview and to get to bake from it. I love using coconut flour. The marble cupcakes were so good. (Don’t ask me how many I ate!) Thanks for the link love once again, dear. I am so happy to spread the word!
xo,

Congratulations! I preordered the book some time ago, and am eagerly awaiting delivery. Also, many thanks for sharing this recipe ahead of publication.
Question–is the arrowroot powder necessary? What function does it perform in the cupcake?
I’m very starch sensitive and try to avoid it completely, so am wondering if I can leave it out.
Thanks!
Elana says
Mary, yes it is necessary :-)

Chris says
Only 1/2c flour for whole recipe? Typo?
Heather says
Coconut flour is very absorbent. It will work!
Jamee says
YES! I am sooooo excited about this cupcake. I’ve already pre-ordered your book. :) And, I’m so happy this has arrowroot powder because I bought some a while back and didn’t know what to do with it. WIN-WIN-WIN!!!

DH Said Oh looks good! He doesn’t like cake. But with the use of the coconut flour instead of regular, I think he will like these.
Can’t wait to try them. And thank you for the strawberry info yesterday. Muchly appreciated!!
