I wanted sweet, so I decided to use the coconut nectar in a strawberry freezer treat. I made the strawberry recipe below and froze it.
After a few hours the texture was not what I wanted, so I thawed it and decided it would make a lovely frosting. Then I had to come up with a cupcake recipe. Most of you probably know that raw cupcakes are nothing like baked cupcakes, but they can still be fun! The recipes below are heavy in nuts and coco oil, so they are rather high in calories and fat, but I only eat one or two little minis and feel satisfied. This batch of cupcakes will last a while.
Maca Cupcakes
2 cups walnuts
3 dates, soaked and then blended with 1 tbsp water to form a paste
2 heaping tbsp maca
dash of vanilla
dash of salt
Process the above ingredients in a FP until the batter is smooth and rolling into a big ball. Roll into small balls and put in mini cupcake liners.
Strawberry Frosting
1 pint strawberries
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp coconut nectar (or other sweetener)
dash of vanilla
dash of salt
Blend the above ingredients until smooth and creamy. Harden in the fridge for a bit before spreading on cupcakes. Decorate with whatever ingredients you have on hand.
Question: Are you a counting calories fan, or do you just eat when you are hungry?
