Serves 9

Ingredients

Chocolate cupcake base

   ½ c almond flour

   ½ c coconut flour

   2 tbsp cocoa powder (1 tbsp regular + 1 tbsp black cocoa powder)

   1 tsp espresso powder

   1 c Medjool dates, pitted

Matcha Icing

   1 cup coconut cream

   1 tsp agave, or coconut nectar

   1 tbsp matcha powder, or more if you want it greener (not too much though)

   ¼ c coconut nectar or agave nectar

   ¼ c cocoa powder (2 tbsp regular + 2 tbsp black cocoa powder)

   2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions 

Chocolate cupcake base

   Place almond flour, almonds, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and espresso in a food processor and blend until the almonds are ground and grainy.

   Add the dates, and blend until all of the ingredients have combined and are sticky. The texture should look similar to wet sand…though delicious.
