It’s cupcake time. But not just any cupcakes – Dark Chocolate & Blackberry Paleo Cupcakes. Let’s do this.

The recipe is nice and easy, and you can have these cuties done and ready to be enjoyed in 1 hour. The cupcake itself is made with coconut flour, collagen peptides, cacao powder, sunflower seed butter, eggs, banana and blackberries.

It has no nuts, so it’s perfect for those who can’t tolerate nuts, have allergies to them or simply don’t want to have them as part of their diet.

Collagen peptides are added to the recipe for an extra nutrition spin. Don’t you love it when delicious treats are also good for you?

The sunflower seed butter adds moist and decadence to the cupcake base, so this is a situation where both the cupcake and the toppings are amazing.

The toppings are perfectly balanced with a blackberry sauce made with just two ingredients, and with a chocolate sauce made purely out of one dairy-free ingredient. These two are magical together and I think you’ll absolutely love the combo.

I hope you all love these cupcakes. They are:

• Decadent
• Rich
• Naturally gluten-free & dairy-free
• Nut-free
• Nutritious
• & so delicious

These would make for the perfect treat to bring to birthday parties or dinner parties. People would never guess they are “healthy” and gluten-free. They are also refined-sugar free, paleo and super easy to make.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a video to show you just how easy these are to make.
