Gluten free coconut cupcakes

In honor of Valentine’s Day I chose a recipe for the sweet soul.  Although many of you may have sugar hangovers by the time I post this I chose a recipe that called for  and . I also decided on a low carb and gluten free recipe for my kept and paleo followers. Stop rolling your eyes and trust me they are better than you think, especially because they come with a butter cream frosting and  also taste like coconut  These tasty little cakes will leave your sweet tooth satisfied and asking your hubby, wife, or whomever to hide the rest.  I would like to note I made two batches and a few substitutions as you will see below. Overall, the taste was perfect, texture moist, and my new go to cupcake recipe.
