Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 High Speed Blender

Ingredients
  

Cupcake Ingredients

  • 2 Cups of Dates Roughly
  • 1 Cup of Raisins Roughly
  • 1 Cup of Walnuts Roughly (Optional) (Can sub with dried mulberries or leave out)
  • 3-6 Cups of Beet Pulp Roughly
  • 1 Small Thumb of Fresh Ginger
  • 3-4 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flax Seed Optional
  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup of Coconut Flakes

Coconut Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 Coconut The Water and the Meat
  • 4-5 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup to taste
  • 1 Teaspoon of Fresh Vanilla
  • Fresh Strawberries and Blueberries for topping.

Instructions
 

  • Add all cupcake ingredients to a food processor except coconut flakes and process on high until well combined.
  • Once combined, add in 1/2 cup of coconut flakes and process again. Check to see that you get a sticky dough (see video). If it's too mushy, add more coconut flakes.
  • Once you get a nice dough, taste test it. Add more maple syrup or agave if need be.
  • Take off small chunks and start shaping small cupcakes with your hands. Place then in cupcake liners.
  • Once your cupcakes are ready, add all frosting ingredients to a blender except the coconut water. Start slowly with a splash of it and gradually add more if you need to. You should get a nice whipped frosting consistency.
  • Put your frosting in the fridge for an hour to firm up some more. Once firm, add it to a piping bag, frost your cupcakes, add fresh berries on top, and enjoy.

Notes

1.) If your coconut frosting needs more liquid, add the juice from a lemon or lime.
2.) if there’s too much liquid in your frosting, dump your frosting over a mesh strainer and let the excess liquid drain out before placing inside a piping bag. 
3.) If you’re allergic to nuts, instead of walnuts, try dried mulberries or just leave them out completely – you may need to add more of the other ingredients to compensate. 
4.) Ideally you’re using this recipe because you have some leftover beet juice pulp, if not, not problem – you can just finely process about 6 beets in a food processor being sure to strain out all the juice afterwards with a strainer or cheese cloth. Use the pulp for this recipe, the dryer you can get it the better.
