This recipe consists of three of the favorite sweet foods of many people – marshmallow, caramel and chocolate cake. I have layered them to create a visual feast as well as a delight for the palate. All three layers are gluten, grain, dairy, nut and refined sugar-free. It is easy enough today to find grain-free sweet treats but many of them are based on large quantities of nuts in the form of flour or meal. A lot of people don’t tolerate nuts well so this treat is also for them.
These grain-free macadamia chocolate chip cupcakes will leave you satisfied and full of nutrients. The macadamia nut butter in this recipe adds the protein and healthy fat needed to stay full. Just one of these cupcakes can get me through the morning. Macadamia nuts are also my nut of choice because they have a very low Omega-6 content compared to their counterparts. In addition, they are a healthy source of magnesium, manganese, thiamine, copper and iron. These cupcakes were also toddler tested, making them a perfect dessert for a birthday party!
