Paleo Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes {Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, No Refined Sugar}

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and I wanted to bake him something special.

He is trying to stay away from grains and dairy because of migraines and autoimmune inflammation, so I needed to find a Paleo cupcake recipe.

After doing a search for Paleo cupcakes on Pinterest and not quite finding what I was looking for,  I decided that I would try to make my favorite cupcake recipe grain-free.

I have something to admit friends, that grain-free baking is a whole new world for me. I was a little nervous about stretching outside of my normal gluten-free baking comfort zone, but these fudgy beauties turned out awesome!
