Vegan CupCake
VEGAN CUPCAKE----This is an unbelievably moist and flavorful cupcake. They literally melt in your mouth. The are frosted with coffee buttercream…. which, Oh yeah, completes the truly delicious flavor. This is one I will make again and again… 1 cup AP flour 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup coconut oil 1 cup coconut milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 tsp coconut extract 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconutToasted Coconut Coffee Buttercream Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line muffin pan with paperliners.In medium bowl sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.Melt coconut oil in small pan over VERY low heat. Once melted, turn heat off but leave the pan on the stove so oil wont solidify.Inseperate med bowl mix together coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and coconut extract. Stir in the melted coconut oil. Add flour mixture in batches, beating well after each addition. Mix until smooth, then fold in the shredded coconut.Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full… These cupcakes are little but who needs a big cupcake. I like eating the smaller size– its just enough. Bake for 24 to 26 minutes and cool COMPLETELY.Toasted CoconutPlace 1/2 cup unsweeted coconut in small frying pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Stir constantly with spatula until coconut begins to turn honey brown. Remove from heat and spread on plate to cool. Coffee Buttercream 1/4 cup nonhydrogentated shortening 1/4 cup nonhydrogentated margarine 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 Tablespoons coconut milk (or soy milk) 1 1/2 tsp coffee extract ( I used a tsp of instant coffee mixed with a Tabl of water) 1/2 tsp vanilla Beat shortening and margarine together until well combined and fluffy. Alternately add the sugar and cocnut milk to shortening mixture-beating well after each addition. Add coffee and vanilla and beat about 3 minutes more. I tried frosting without refrigerating and the buttercream was runny.It should be refrigerated a while until ready to use.Frost and sprinkle or roll in coconut.

Food comas get old real quick. If you struggle with overeating and portion control, it's time to rethink old habits and redesign your relationship with meals. Start with these 11 straightforward tips:
Know your needs: When your diet doesn't feel like a guessing game, you're more likely to make smart decisions at meals. Check out this Mayo Clinic calorie calculator and RDA protein chart to learn your numbers and make educated decisions about what you're eating.
Measure things out: You can't be exactly sure of what you're eating unless you measure out portions properly. Instead of eyeballing everything, pick up some portion-control products so you can be precise.
Never show up too hungry: When you arrive at a meal feeling famished, you're much more likely to overdo it. Enjoy quality snacks during the day to keep your hunger in check for meals.
Cook one serving: Take temptation out of the picture by cooking single-size servings of your favorite foods. This way, you won't have to struggle with saying no to the extras lurking in your fridge.
Choose smaller plates: Serve your meal on a salad or dessert plate. Studies show that using a smaller plate helps with weight loss and portion control.
Sit down to eat: Turn off outside distractions, sit at the table, and focus on your food. You'll be able to slow down, enjoy your meal, and feel more satisfied from what's on your plate.
