A long time ago in a different life (or at least i A long time ago in a different life (or at least it feels that way) I was riding in a car at night with @whereissionnie to meet up with @ruthielindsey and @1924us for bonfires and general cabin shenanigans outside of Nashville. 

I remember the drive so well. It’s a conversation that always stuck with me. We talked about trauma and crisis. And I don’t know much, but I shared the only thing I know, a thing that has served me well through the natural undulations life is bound to bring.

And that is simply sometimes you have to cling to the mast. You aren’t doing anything but surviving but that’s the most important work of all. Because the storm WILL pass. And you‘ll be left standing.

And when it does you can mend the sails. Untangle the ropes. And get on with the business of sailing.

I’ve learned to give myself permission to do nothing but make it through. To sleep a little too late. To dance in front of the mirror and feel myself even when I look ridiculous. To load and unload the dishwasher and allow that to be a great victory. To dress like a cartoon character in nothing but white t-shirts and denim shorts.  To eat mac & cheese from a box and frozen chicken nuggets sometimes. To not respond to text messages. To flail and get back up over and over. To ask for help. A lot.

And also permission to feel it all. Rage. Grief. Joy. Hope and hopelessness. And sometimes all within the span of a few minutes. 

And most of all, whether navigating calm waters or stormy ones, what matters more than anything is the crew you’re doing it with. Surround yourself with solid people.

People that challenge you with compassion. And humor. People whose strengths buttress your weakness. People that don’t judge you. That believe in you even when you think they’re maniacs for doing so.

I know a disproportionate amount of us have had rough seas this year. Cling to the mast in the storm. Choose your crew wisely. No storm ever lasted forever. But there never was a last storm in the world. Accept that they will come and be prepared.

Dairy + Gluten Free: Salted Chocolate Lavender Cupcakes & Whipped Honey Coconut Cream

Morning, noon, and night. Recipes. For love potion, for disaster. Or for, well, cupcakes fit for the food intolerant that are fit for everyone as well. I’ve done my fair share of gluten free & dairy free baking due to an affection for a few of those afflicted by allergies, celiac, or a tender conscience. It’s not common place, but I do it. Gladly, really. In the end it’s all just science, this chemical reacting with that and heat, heat, heat. And then you lick your fingers, leave crumbs. It’s all cake in the end. You’ll like these. They aren’t “good for gluten free vegan”. They’re just good.

vegan & gluten free salted chocolate & lavender cupcakes with whipped honey coconut cream recipe

When Tiffany & Kappel decided to come down for a visit we brain stormed on a friendly food for baking. No dairy, no gluten, no eggs between the two of them. At first I voted nougat, but damn eggs. I recalled some vegan cupcakes I’d baked for a bridal shower in a different life. We decided to make them our own with coconut oil, hemp seed milk, and lavender. I’d always wanted to whip coconut cream, so that was a simple solution for frosting. The vegan’s chantilly if you add agave instead of honey. But I went with honey.

Baking with Tiffany in my kitchen is quickly becoming one of my favorite past times. We listen to old Phil Spector recordings (The Cystals & Ronettes are favorites) and do the twist. No pretense. No boring, boring agendas. Just two chicks that really get a thrill out of baking stuff, standing on ladders, holding their breath, and photographing said baked goods. Match made in heaven.

I’m enjoying making a home of this Tennessee house while I’m here. I’ve been popping down to my favorite breakfast place/coffee shop The Farmer’s Daughter & Copacetic Coffee for my daily cortado. Taken yoga back up again. Gone to dinner with my mom, aunt, and sister-in-law. Really succeeded at being human these past few weeks. But all the while a road is winding in the back of my mind. Geometric airport light looms. Days alone stretch out before me. Foreign tongue & coin jangle. I like this home thing. But I fidget still for the adventure. I’m so happy I can have my (vegan, gluten free) cupcakes and eat them too.

dairy free + gluten free salted chocolate lavender cupcakes & whipped honey coconut cream frosting

Yield: 12 cupcakes

These cupcakes are gluten free, dairy free, vegan—you name it. Pretty much anyone can eat them. Omit the honey & substitute agave in the frosting to make the whole thing vegan. But whether your are dietary restricted or an unapologetic omnivore (such as myself), you will enjoy these cupcakes. The frosting is dangerously addictive, and if you don't tell people, I'm guessing they wouldn't even know that these are gluten & dairy free.

Ingredients

    for cupcakes
  • 250 grams (2 cups) AP Gluten Free Flour (can sub regular flour, just omit the xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons dried lavender, ground to a powder
  • 270 grams (1 1/3 cup) granulated cane sugar
  • 60 grams (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 320 grams (1 1/3 cup) hemp seed milk (can sub coffee, water, almond or coconut milk), room temp
  • (150 grams) 1/2 cup + 2.5 Tablespoons melted coconut oil, room temp
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • for frosting
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk
  • 85 grams (1/4 cup) raw honey (sub agave, about 3 tablespoons, for honey to make it vegan)

Instructions

  1. The night before making these (or at least five hours prior) put the cans of coconut milk in the fridge. They need to chill completely for the frosting.
  2. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake papers. I lightly grease them with a propellent free, non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, lavender, sugar, and cocoa powder to combine thoroughly. In a separate bowl combine the hemp seed milk, coconut oil, vinegar, and vanilla. It's imperative that the milk not be cold, or the coconut oil will solidify. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon to thoroughly combine.
  4. Fill each cupcake tin with 1/3 cup batter, and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted comes out clean save a few clinging crumbs. It shouldn't be wet.
  5. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting or it will melt.
  6. While the cupcakes cool, make your frosting. Turn your chilled cans of coconut milk upside down and open them with a can opener. Pour out the liquid. Scrape the solids left into the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy on high, add the honey or agave, and then whip to combine thoroughly. Alternately you can use an electric hand mixer.
  7. Frost the cupcakes with the whipped coconut and garnish with a few lavender buds if you like the taste of lavender, otherwise skip this as they can be strong. Now go forth and convert the doubters of gluten free, dairy free baking. Because these please everyone, not just the food intolerant. I would know, being a doubter myself. Enjoy!

        I would rate it at 24 hours. But honestly, I’d frost it before serving if I could. And I have never tried this as a layer cake, so I can’t say if it will work. But I reckon it would if the baking time was adjusted. Cake’s cake.

Now she’s peering over my shoulder so the surprise is over and telling me actually these would be perfect for her sisters Baby shower as they are dairy-free and gluten free and would be ok for most peoples diets. And she’s telling me that they’re gorgeous (I mean, a guy can’t say that, right? Especially a gym who’s a gym teacher!) Really nicely done!

    I am so, so glad and so, so thankful that I have no food intolerances!! As good as these look and sound and I am certain, ARE, to bake them here in my lovely sunshiny corner of the world would be… well, I can’t even imagine! Some of those ingredients are not easy to come by, here. Sure, one can substitute them with other ingredients – so good to have the options here!! – but they are just so expensive, as far as my budget allows, that if I were suffering form food allergies or intolerances, I would never be able to indulge in certain things, I’m sure. It does agravate me a lot to see – I speak for what happens here at my country, only – that if one wants to try certain things, or enter a healthier lifestyle when it comes to food, it is nearly impossible. Unless you are rich, of course ;). JOking aside, it is true that things like seeds – be it quinoa, chia, sesame, sunflower, et all – are not easily affordable to the common person here at my country, the ones living on a very tight budget and a balancing act economically speaking, who end up forced to consume stuff they know is not all that good, but which happens to be all they can afford to buy… it saddens me, nearly as much as it is saddening me not being right on these photos gobbling cupcake after cupcake and stuffing my face with that whipped cream that looks like fluffy clouds made in heaven!! What a treat for the eyes, these photos are!! And lavender! I mean, I thrive on everything lavender!!!

    These are amazing! I made them with AP flour and they came out perfectly. I added about 20 more grams of almond milk (almond + coconut + chocolate is one of my favourite combinations) because it seemed a bit dry at the end. Also, it took 23 minutes in the oven for mine to fully cook through, and there was a bit of overflow, but it was all perfect!

    I halved the frosting recipe because 2 cans seemed a lot, and I still had a lot leftover, probably would have been fine with half a can of coconut milk and a tablespoon of honey, but it’s okay because it gives me an excuse to make another batch for friends 🙂

    The next time that you find a shop assistant handing out a free chocolate your way, stop and think whether it is good for you.
    Individuals who ate this sort of confections do not have

    Making these by request for my vegan daughter’s 17th birthday today… a little nervous about the frosting, because the ingredients say coconut MILK but in the description there is a reference to coconut CREAM, which I have used in the past for things like this. Wondering if the coconut MILK I have chilling is going to work, or if I should stop to buy coconut CREAM and get it right into the freezer to chill. Can anyone advise?

      What I use to whip is full fat, canned coconut milk. Not the same as the stuff that comes in a box. Coconut cream is usually sweetened in my experience. I use this http://www.swansonvitamins.com/native-forest-unsweetened-organic-coconut-milk-classic-13-5-fl-oz-liquid?SourceCode=INTL405&CAWELAID=530002460000023779&catargetid=530002460000106240&cadevice=c&mkwid=w6WtMiLR&pcrid=67697600887&gclid=CjwKEAjw8oSoBRCss4qDrP3Y7yUSJACKumZ9IHyXfSiOP-jLwpcq-b0qoLty2yNnLUBUw9COtkqqcxoCos7w_wcB

    Also, I’m wondering if I need to add the xanthan gum, which is $12.99, if my GF flour blend already contains it. Again, can anyone comment on this from experience, either with this recipe or others? If it really makes a difference, I’ll add it, but on the other hand, maybe too much is not a good thing?

    I am a good cook but not a baker. This recipe seems so unique and perfect for my dairy-free and GF household. But a little complicated…tell me, can the beginner baker who sucks at following recipes make this easily?

      Yes indeed. Just follow the instructions and use the measurements given and there’s no reason on earth it shouldn’t work.

    hi there, these look so perfect. I’m thinking of doing them for my little girls 8th birthday. Is there a specific GF flour or blend you recommend. So far every one i’ve tried has been pretty disappointing (i haven’t tried any of them with this recipe yet!)

    thanks so much 🙂
