Baseball Cupcakes
I love decorating desserts and making snacks for my son’s baseball team each season, so these healthy yet festive chocolate cupcakes are near and dear to my heart. Change your frosting color, and you can create desserts for tennis, basketball, or soccer celebrations. The list goes on. . . .

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 9 muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
To make the batter, in a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grapeseed oil, and agave nectar. Blend the wet ingredients into the coconut flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.
Step 4
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour.
Step 5
To decorate, reserve 1/2 cup of Cream Cheese Frosting to use for the baseball stitches. Frost the tops of the cupcakes with the remaining Cream Cheese Frosting. Place the reserved 1/2 cup of frosting in a bowl and mix with the red food coloring, until the frosting becomes red. Spoon the red frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip and pipe a little curved red stripe onto each side of the top of each cupcake. Next, pipe the “stitches” of the baseball over the stripes. Serve immediately.
