1/4 cup collagen (see link and DISCOUNT code below in Recipe Notes)

Instructions

Cinnamon Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
In large bowl combine dry ingredients: cassava flour, coconut sugar, collagen, coconut flour, gelatin, cinnamon, baking soda and sea salt.
In medium bowl combine wet ingredients: fat of choice, coconut milk, water and apple cider vinegar.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine. (Batter will be thick, and it needs to be: It’s egg-free, and this thickness is part of how the batter rises well and accomplishes that perfect texture. So don’t thin it!)
Fill muffin tin with batter. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
While the cupcakes bake, make AIP Strawberry Buttercream Frosting, recipe here.
