2 tbsp arrowroot powder

Matcha Frosting:

2 cups organic powdered sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, arrowroot powder, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, coconut sugar, and cinnamon together.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together and mix well. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix well.

Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, add all the butter, powdered sugar and matcha powder into a large bowl and mix well using a hand mixer. If you want a darker green color, add a 1⁄4 tsp of matcha into the bowl and mix again. Scoop into a piping bag and frost the cupcakes as you like. Enjoy!
