I doubled the recipe & added a tsp vanilla, I also used a little less than the 1/2 c honey. I used an unsweetened raw cacao powder. I mixed it all in the ninja blender. I was a thick fluffy batter. The first thing if noticed is how much they smell like regular cupcakes while baking. They did form to my silicone cupcake pan and rose just to the top of each muffin hole. At 20 mins, a toothpick came out clean & they fell right out of the pan onto a cooling rack. The bottoms look a little dark so maybe less time on the next batch. I made 12 cupcakes and had a little batter left over. <br/>I cut one ope n, still steaming, and split it with my husband. We both agree that these are pretty darn good. They are less sweet than traditional cupcakes & I have to iced them so maybe that will make a difference. But still quite yummy. They are a little grainy textured but fluffy and moist at the same time. I will definitely make these again. Happy birthday to my little guy!2Reply
