Instructions

For Chocolate Cupcake:

1. Preheat oven to 325F and line 12 muffins cups with paper liners (parchment ones are best for non-stackability).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, meringue powder, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat coconut oil with sweetener until well combined. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Combine the yolks and vanilla extract.
4. Beat in half of the almond flour mixture, and then almond milk. Beat in remaining almond flour mixture until well combined.
5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter and bake 18 to 22 minutes, until just firm to the touch and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Remove and let cool 10 minutes in a pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Finally, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. Serve and enjoy!
