Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Glaze
PIN THIS RECIPE!I swear I eat food other than sweets. I swear. Kind of.
I had another CrossFit cert this weekend. CrossFit kids. Which is weird, since I don’t like kids. At all. I like teenagers. No wait, I like CrossFit teenagers. Like my friend Addie. She’s epic. She’s 17, 95lbs, and got 64 reps at wod 12.2. That means she did 30 snatches at 45lbs, 30 snatches at 75lbs, and 4 snatches at 100lbs. She snatched OVER HER BODY WEIGHT. That is ridiculously incredible. I love CrossFit teenagers. Ok, mainly just her.
Guess what I’m doing this week?! Going to Boston! Well then to New Hampshire. More New Hampshire than Boston. I’ll be working with AgainFaster making some cooking videos! How fun is that!? If you didn’t know, I write a monthly blog post for them! I like to talk about body stuff and CrossFit stuff. You know, the best stuff.
Ok, we need to talk about something. I didn’t eat chocolate for a long, long time. A long time for me at least. Like 4 or 5 weeks. I was suppose to go until after the open, but I gave in. I got sick of it. I had a bet that I wouldn’t eat chocolate until after the CrossFit Open and threw it all out the door with one week left. Failure to the max. But I really didn’t care. It was heaven. I got dark chocolate covered walnuts and was instantly a better person. Meaning more fun to be around.
How was your St. Patty’s Day?! Was it filled with booze? Mine was spent at my parents house then on the couch watching movies on the Oxygen channel. But when I woke up early on Sunday morning, and there were literally 3 souls in the park versus the normal thousands, I was quite happy everyone was hungover. And not me. It’s so strange to me that we have built in drinking holidays. No, they weren’t created specifically for that most likely, but that’s what they’ve turned into. Have you ever heard someone say you’re either a alcohol person or a food person? I’m SOOOOOOOO a food person. I’d much MUCH rather consume my calories from a dead animal versus fermented grapes. Alcohol tastes like ass, dark chocolate tastes like pure heaven. Factual info right there.

★★★★★
Cupcakes are pure heaven! Lol glad you think I’m funny because i’m just plain weird
These look amazing!! I think I am making these today…..I have too! My mouth is watering!
You gotta do it!

#paleohumor
BTW Juli, i made the twice baked sweet potatoes over the weekend, My family loved them! thank you for all your recipes!!!
I hope it went super well for you with 12.4!
Thanks so much Jen!!
Are you kidding me with this? Fabulous!
I made the caramel pecan bars…I believe you received a picture of them. Ridiculous. I also made chocolate almond butter covered bacon.
Yep, that’s how I roll…
I did receieve the picture…BUT NOT WITH THE BACON?! what’s up with that
You’re coming to BOSTON?!? So cool! You have to c
Ahh sorry!! You’ve got to come to Crossfit Southie in South Boston!!!
Haha I’d totally love to!!
Oh no you didn’t!!! These look AMAZING!!! I was all geared up for splurgey cookies today but now I think I have to run out and grab those silicone muffin/cupcake things you dig & make these. xoxox
★★★★★
Hope you like it!
Eff yeah! I love it when you post treats that don’t have almond flour!! I think I’ve become that creeper girl that comments every.single.post. Sorry about that. Thanks for the cupcake recipe!
Good Stephanie!! I like that you post comments!!
You’re coming to Boston?! Has the city been warned yet? If you want a quick break from CrossFit, would love to have you take my spin class at Recycle Studio! There’s a lot of dancing involved
Lol that sounds awesome!!! Minus the spinning! I’ll just dance the whole time instead!
it’s nice that your “sweet” recipes don’t require much sugar. i’ve seen so many “paleo” dessert recipes that contain a crap load of honey/maple syrup. thanks 🙂
Thanks Erika! It really doesn’t need it!
These look soooooo goooooodddd.
haha try them Chrissy!
Hooray! Chocolate is back. I’m so glad your dumb bet is over. These looks amazing! I can’t wait to try them. Addie is absolutely an inspiration to watch. We miss her down here on the south end.
She is so damn amazing!
I might make these and take them to work…the girls always piss and moan that i never eat the crap they get from the bakery…cupcakes that don’t go straight to their ass, I’ll be everyone’s favorite for at least a week now!
Have you seen my ass Rob? come on
We’ve been through this, your ass is bomb…stop hating.
Come on bro
While you’re in Boston feel free to stop by CrossFit Hingham! My roommate Ashley and I would love to talk shop.. aka talk food with you or just throw down. We’re convinced that you’re our clone on the other side of the country. Fact.
PS. Making these, ASAP.
Katie, I grew up in Hingham (folks still live there) but will be back this fall for a wedding. Where is CF Hingham?
On Sharp street.. near Rockland and Weymouth, kind of sandwiched between the two towns. 55 Sharp Street to be exact. If you need a place to WOD when you come back for the wedding definitely stop in!
I’ll keep that in mind Katie! Fingers crossed!!
You’ll recall I might have mentioned that cutting dark chocolate was not necessary anyway, perhaps even detrimental. Glad you came to your senses. I don’t really bake, but I will certainly give that glaze and a bowl and a spoon a roll sometime.
Thank goodness I came to my senses…but it got a little out of control. I found chocolate on 2 shirts i wore yesterday. two.
Can I sub almond butter for cashew butter? I’m just lazy and don’t want to purchase cashew butter. but if I have to for the sake of deliciousness then I guess I’ll have too… ugh.
Gross. I typed too instead of to. I couldn’t leave without fixing it.
I hate that feeling
Yeah almond butter would definitely work!!
You are a Food/Recipe Genius/Goddess!
I have made so many of your recipes and they all turn out super fantastic. I am not even that great of a cook. HA! I will have to make these too. They look amazing.
Thats awesome Jamee! Glad you’re liking the recipes!
You are truly AMAZING!! This Blog is so inspirational and proves you can be clean and lean without living off plain chicken and brocolli 🙂
Absolutely LOVE your blog and sensational recipes!

Small world!! If I knew where I was even going, I’d totally meet up with you lol
Those look absolutely amazing. I might have drooled a little at your food porn – sorry.
My St. Pattys was filled with hanging out in my upstairs neighbors apartment until 10:30 sans booze annndddd then bed. LOL Livin’ the dream!

Lol thanks Jeanne!!
I made these last night and they are great! I made my own cashew butter and swapped out coconut oil for butter in the glaze. My daughter, the real critic, loved these!
Then, I made a variation with blueberries. Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★
Andrea – do tell how you made your own cashew butter please?
Alicia, check out my chocolate cashew butter recipe!
That sounds amazing!!
I am a food person,too. 🙂
I hope you’ll have a great time in Boston, and that we’ll have a chance to see those videos. 🙂
Nice recipe by the way.
Hopefully the videos will be up soon!
I just came across your blog and can’t wait to keep coming back! These cupcakes sound fantastic!
Thanks so much Juli!
Would cacao nibs work?
I’m not sure Haley, I’ve never used those but it’s worth a try!
That’s a very inviting photo of tasty cupcake! Thanks for sharing this cupcake recipe!
Thanks so much!
I’m going to get all flabby because I can’t stop making all of your goodies!!! Stop it! Ok, don’t stop it because I love these tasty treats. Heading to the kitchen now to get these in the oven.
Lol I’m right there with you Kim haha. Hope you like them!
Made these and they were delish! Word of advice to anyone using sunflower seed butter instead of cashew butter, it’ll turn your cupcakes green – doesn’t make them any less amazing though!
★★★★★
Lol that’s so weird, glad it still tastes good~!
Made these but my batter was super runny and all the chocolate chips sank to the bottom! Still yummy, kids love them!
Bummer Barb!! Maybe needed a lil more cashew butter, but who knows!
I too have LOVED every recipe of yours I’ve tried. YOU ROCK!
Can’t wait to try these! Thanks Juli!!
Thanks so much Fallon!
Made these last night…bringing them to a paleo potluck tonight! I have a cold and couldnt taste test 🙁 but my roommate said they were delicious. Hoping my congestion goes away before all my cupcakes do!
★★★★★
Glad they liked them!
Just started reading your site. Love the recipes. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sense of humor. Frickin’ hilarious!
★★★★
thanks so much Jess!
AMAZING!! Seriously, so good!
★★★★★
YAY! Glad you liked them 🙂
These are the best cupcakes ever. Even my husband loved these. YUM! I can’t have gluten, dairy or soy. Your recipes rock!!!
I have a ton of food allergies too so I understand how that is, glad you liked the recipe!
I made these cupcakes last night and they were absolutely amazing. I’ve tried to make other paleo cake-like desserts before, but they never end up looking and tasting like cake. These do — they have have the perfect texture and just enough sweetness. Thank you!
★★★★★
That’s freaking awesome to hear Sarah! Glad you liked it!
Holy shit balls. These are amazing. I may be in love with you. My girlfriend will have to get over it. Seriously, love the blog. Keep this bitch going!
Thanks so much Jamie! Glad you liked them!!
OMG. (Guess that’s why the site has its name.) These were AWESOME — and SO moist. I only wish the cashew butter I found didn’t have safflower oil in it.
★★★★★
Glad you liked them!
I just had to send you a note saying you have accomplished the impossible!!! My 9 year old boy is extremely picky!!! He ate one of these and LOVED it! I felt good cause it wasn’t a bunch of sugary processed crap that I was feeding him! Thanks so much and keep the recipes coming! So far my family and I have loved them:)
★★★★★
That’s so cool Debbie! Glad he liked them!
Making these for my BFF home girl right now as a get well present. Not telling her they’re paleoish until she eats them. Muaha! Used coconut macadamia butter though cuz I stocked up on it in Hawaii. My fupa is hating me right now.
Holy crap I’m jealous of you
Amazing! i wish I had doubled the recipe (makes 6). Also, the glaze on top was too runny. I wish I had let it sit and harden a bit until it was spreadable on top of the cupcakes and not so runny..
Yeah, you could also use a little more chocolate next time to thicken it up 🙂
OMGGGGG!!! greatest thing ever. And it’s only the first treat Ive made from you website. I don’t thibk it’ll be the last, that’s for damn sure. I’m definitely in love with everything about PaleOMG. Thank you. thank you. THANK YOU!!!
Having just started doing Paleo I haven’t converted the entire family yet (hubby and kids ages 6 yrs and 8yrs). They wanted chocolate chip cookies tonight, which sucks for me. So I made these. Didn’t have cashew butter so I used almond butter instead. And I don’t have “paleo” chocolate chips. I did/do however, have a bar of dark chocolate ginger (totally not paleo due to the sugar but hey… it’s dark chocolate!). I chopped up 1/2 a cup of that. Result = YUM-O! Oh and since I’m the only one eating them, I didn’t use the glaze… so they are a tad dry. But seriously, I can now survive in the face of chocolate chip cookies!
★★★★★
Yummmmmm! We had this on the 4th for brunch with eggs and bacon, so good! Hubby and I didn’t use any toppings, but let the kids have whipped cream and a few extra chips. They loved them, too! This will definitely replace my former chocolate chip waffle recipe that was definitely not paleo. The kids even commented about how they felt so much better after eating these than the old kind, gotta love that!
★★★★★
I wanted to say first off – that I LOVE you and your blog! I love all your recipes, and your great wit, and attitude!
That being said, I don’t have cashew nut butter – would you think Almond Butter would work just as well?? I need to make them now – so if you could let me know – that would be GREAT!
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Lilli! And yes, I think almond butter would work just fine!
So I’ve been Paleo for about a month now, and tonight my husband and goddaughter decided to be bastards and ordered a pizza. While I chowed down on my chef salad, I said, “that’s it, it’s time to try that paleo cupcake recipe.” SO GLAD I did. YUM. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I am in love with your site and have bookmarked a bunch of recipes to try. I really am loving this whole paleo thing.
★★★★★
My oldest sons favorite is buttermilk /chocolate chip mini muffins (or waffles) . I havent made either in forevvvvver, I bet he would adore these! They look fantastic.
I ate 5! So good! My husband was lucky enough to get one and he says it is his favorite Paleo desert thus far (he is not Paleo). I also left out the sweetener and it was still good and sweet from the chocolate chips.
★★★★★
These were great, even the non-primal brood enjoyed them. I ate half of them. 🙂
I made these a FEW times now! Freakin’ AHHHMMMAAAAZZZIIINNNGG. I didn’t have any cashew butter and used hazelnut butter… tastes just like Nutella! Your recipes are awesome! And, I love your entertaining posts 🙂
★★★★★
This is Debbie’s daughter :)OMG! I made these and they taste SOO good! They’re still cooling….but I tried a piece. I cannot wait to try them with the chocolate glaze! Mmmmmm :p
I was craving a chocolate dessert and wanted something easy. I made these last night (so easy and quick!) and drowned them in that chocolate glaze- amazing! And the best part?
Today, after being refrigerated, they taste like a Chocolate Covered DONUT!! Maybe even better this way!
Thanks for all the great recipes!
(Only change: I used Justin’s Maple Almond Butter because it’s what I had).
★★★★★
Awesome! My family and I just started Paleo…like literally this is day 4…but we already feel better. My middle daughter’s 2nd birthday is coming up. I think I might try these. See if everyone can tell they are not “normal” cupcakes lol
SO GOOOOOOD! WHAT COULD YOU USE INSTEAD OF CASHEW BUTTER? I dont eat nuts.
sunflower seed butter
Made these for a bridal shower this weekend… I have never had more people interested in my eating habits after they tried these and loved them. Thank you!
finally got around to making these today.. SOO yummy!! the only problem I had was the cupcakes sticking to the liners, leaving me to gnaw a good amount of cupcake from the liner 🙁 any tips on how to prevent sticking?
★★★★★
These were delicious!! I subbed peanut butter for cashew butter and used fudge sauce as frosting. One question: any idea why my chocolate chips sunk to the bottom??
★★★★★
actually no clue!
These are ABSOLUTELY amazing!! Thank you! 🙂
