Hi Shannon,
Thanks for stopping by! I agree with you about the eggy part of baking with coco flour. I’m still experimenting with other leaveners and will let you know.
Also – I’ve been learning more about agave and its not all good. Bottom line (as always): moderation. Stay tuned…

These look delish! Agave nectar is the best huh!! I’ve recently gone on a coconut oil & flour kick. Love the oil in everything but the flour is proving to be more challenging. I’ve made coco-flour pancakes and muffins so far and all the eggs required made them both so very eggy! Do you know of any other ways to “glutenize” coco-flour recipes to avoid the eggy flavor?

Yes, agave nectar comes from the same plant that produces tequila (which explains why I love it:)It is waaaay better than refined sugar (everything is) becuz it is a whole food and doesn’t raise your blood sugar as quickly as the white stuff. Your chickens are just the type of source I refer to – homegrown is always best! (P.S. Please share:)

Sounds great! I take it the agave nectar is to replace sugar? If I were to use sugar, how much would I use?
Also, I have backyard chickens, so I know the eggs are wholesome and free of salmonella. Do the eggs still need to be pasturized?

Beautiful looking cupcakes! I've been tempted to try the coconut flour too. I'm going to have to look for that book. Maggies last blog post..Savory Pumpkin-Caramelized Onion Muffins

Great one! I don’t even care much about cupcakes (tho I’ve been known to scarf one or two), but this recipe with its coconut flour and agave sweetner etc sound too intriguing to pass up. Great writing, too – such fun!

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog–and so glad it led me here! You’re right, we ARE kindred spirits! Your blog is great, and I love all the recipes I’ve seen so far (must check out the archives). And how’s this for similar–I even posted an entry last year called “Cuckoo for Coconut”! Will add you to my blogroll directly.
