Recipe type: Confection
Serves: 16 cupcakes
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups gluten free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour, but a simple brown rice flour or garbanzo bean flour would also work well)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar + 2 tsp for the glaze
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Dandies Mini Vanilla marshmallows
  • ¼ cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
  • 6 oz container of fresh raspberries
  • vegan cream cheese (I used Go Veggie)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper cups or coat with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir together until blended.
  4. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, cook the marshmallows and creamer until it's melted and has a fluffy consistency. Stir often to ensure the marshmallows don't stick to the pan.
  5. Fill muffin tins ⅓ of the way full with cupcake batter. Drizzle a couple spoonfuls of marshmallow creme over each cupcake, and top with more batter. Don't fill all the way because the marshmallows rise quite a bit.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool for several minutes, allowing the risen marshmallows to sink back down.
  7. Put the saucepan back on medium-low heat and add the raspberries and 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until you have the consistency you want (about 5 minutes).
  8. Plate the cupcakes, spoon the glaze on top, and finish off with the cream cheese.
