Equipment

Ingredients  

Chocolate Cupcakes
  • 3 eggs large
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder unsweetened
  • 1 cup water boiling
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips optional
Decorating the Reindeers

Instructions

Preparing / Baking the Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 356F (180C).
  • Boil some water (you will need 1 cup for the recipe).
  • Whisk the eggs.
  • Add brown sugar, coconut oil, cacao powder and mix.
  • Slowly add the boiling water and mix.
  • Stir in all-purpose flour and almond flour.
  • Lastly, add the baking powder and optional dark chocolate chips and gently mix.
  • Scoop batter into prepared mini or regular sized cupcake trays.
  • Bake until toothpick comes out clean, approximately 15 minutes for mini cupcakes and25 minutes for regular sized cupcakes.

Decorating the Reindeers

  • Split each pretzel in half (use your hands or a knife).
  • Place the 2 parts on cupcake to make the antlers.
  • Add two edible candy eyes.
  • Add one round chocolate chip to make the nose.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts are calculated for each cupcake.
  • Edible candy eyes were not part of the calculation. I normally only use them for decorating and remove before my child eats the cupcake.
  • If you wish to use the whole pretzels without splitting, you will need to melt some dark chocolate in the microwave, spread on top of the cupcake to “glue” the antlers.
