At loss what to do with leftover almond pulp from making almond milk? For those of us who cannot indulge in delicious treats that contain gluten, this divine Almond and Coconut Cupcake uses almond milk pulp freshly made using the Chufamix Nut and Vegetable Milk Maker. Yes, I have used organic unsalted butter , organic eggs and organic raw sugar for our more traditional friends who are not used to the texture of chia or the fragrance of coconut oil and alternative low GI sweeteners. Enjoy!
