    Coconut Pineapple Lime Cupcakes

    Yield: 12 cupcakes

    Serving Size: 1 cupcake

    Ingredients

      For the Cupcakes:
    • 1 10oz can crushed pineapple
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil
    • 1 egg (can substitute flax egg if desired)
    • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
    • ¾ cup sugar (can substitute coconut or other sugar alternative)
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ¼ cup toasted coconut
    • Zest of one lime
    • For the Frosting:
    • ½ cup butter, softened
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes **See note.
    • 2 tbsp lime juice
    • ¼ cup unsweetened, toasted coconut, set aside for tops of cupcakes
    • Lime zest, for sprinkling on tops of cupcakes

    Instructions

      For the Cupcakes:
    1. kPreheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line and grease 12 muffin cups.
    2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat the oil and egg in a bowl, then add to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in pineapples until well combined.
    3. Pour the mixture into the muffin cups, filling ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cupcakes brown slightly on the top and spring back when touched in the center.
    4. Cool on a wire rack until completely cooled, then frost.
    5. For the Frosting:
    6. Cream butter in the bowl of a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
    7. Turn mixer to slow and slowly add one cup powdered sugar at a time. Add in the vanilla, coconut, and lime juice continuing to mix until incorporated. Top each cupcake with frosting, then sprinkle lime zest and coconut to decorate.
    8. **If you do not like the taste or texture of coconut in your frosting, you can omit the ¼ cup of coconut.

    Notes

    Lower sugar frosting: you can make and enjoy the cupcakes with a coconut milk whipped cream. Simply refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk for several hours. Remove from fridge, scrape the top of coconut milk (the milk and fat separate-- you want to use the fat) Mix the coconut fat in a mixer until light and fluffy. Add a little bit of honey (1-2 tsp) to sweeten + 1-2 tbsp of lime juice. Top cupcakes with the frosting, sprinkle additonal toasted coconut and lime zest on top to decorate.

      Oh heavens, these sound SO good. I love the combination of pineapple + coconut, and I know that lime would make them even more amazing. Wow!
