A month or so ago I bought pastry flour for a recipe. I used it once, but didn’t touch it since. I’ve been playing around with it lately and came up with theeeeee perfect cupcake recipe. I’ve never seen a more perfect texture. So light and airy! I strongly strongly urge you to purchase this flour. It’s only $4-5 for a pound so you have no excuse :D
Makes: 2 cupcakes (1 serving)
- 2 TBSP organic whole wheat pastry flour (15g)*
- 1 TBSP coconut flour
- 1 egg white
- 1 TBSP unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1-2 stevia packets
Mix all of the ingredients. Place into two silicon cupcake molds sprayed with a nonstick spray. Microwave for a minute. Enjoy :) You can also just pour all of the batter into one mug or bowl and microwave for a minute to make a large mugcake.
I topped mine with a rocky road protein icing made by mixing 1 TBSP plain greek yogurt, 1/2 scoop rocky road whey protein, and 7 stevia drops.

*If you don’t have whole wheat pastry flour, you can substitute it with an additional tablespoon of coconut flour. But like I said, it’s just not the same. I urge you to purchase the pastry flour, which can be bought on iherb.com. Additionally, you can use the discount code GIK407 at checkout for up to $10 off your order.

Hi kim!! I bought some kings arthur unbleached cake flour and i was wondering if thats basically the same as the whole wheat pastry flour
I honestly don’t know, I’m sorry!
Any suggestions for a vegan replacement for the egg white? Thanks!
I’m sorry, no, I haven’t tried subbing it.
Hi kim,
Can I use almond flour instead of coconut?
I haven’t tried, but it should be close enough!
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don’t want to get this recipe wrong!
1. When you say an additional tbsp of coconut flour do you mean 15g coconut flour + 1T?
2. do you know how many T of liquid egg whites would be 1 egg white?
thank you SOOOO much!!
Hi Kim, what is the power level of the microwave you use? Mine is at 1,200W and i wonder if it might be too high as i get weird consistencies for my cupcakes. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
I finally remembered to check my microwave! Mine is at 1000 W! Although, I did have a different microwave that this worked fine in too, but I don’t know what the wattage was then. Do you use the whole wheat pastry flour?
