Ingredients

Scale

For the cake pops

1/4 cup (60 grams) olive oil, ghee, melted palm shortening or avocado oil (I used avocado oil)
1/2 cup (120ml) maple syrup
6 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (60 grams) tapioca starch
1/2 cup (48 grams) coconut flour
2 tablespoon (20 grams) potato starch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt

For the chocolate coating

1/2 cup (112 grams) soy and dairy-free chocolate chips
1/4 cup (60 grams) coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all the cake pop ingredients in a mixing bowl or blender and mix until well combined and free of lumps. Once smooth, pour the batter into the bottom half of the generously greased cake pop pan, and then secure the top half of the pan. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.*
While the cake pops are baking, melt the coating ingredients. You may either microwave them in 30 second increments until completely melted and combined. Or you may melt them over a double boiler on the stovetop. To do this, bring 2 cups (475ml) of water to a paid boil over high heat and place a slightly smaller saucepan over the top of the one holding the boiling water. Place your coconut oil and chocolates in the top saucepan and stir until the mixture begins to melt from the heat of the boiling water below. Once melted, remove the saucepans from heat and set aside.
Remove the cake pops from the oven and gently remove the top half of the cake pan. Use a utensil if necessary to help remove them. Insert a lollipop stick into each of the cake pops. Dip one at a time until each is coated thoroughly. Place the cake pops onto a piece of parchment paper to allow the chocolate to solidify once again. If you want to decorate them further, you can add naturally dyed sprinkles at this time.**
The batter made about 36 cake pops!

Notes

*I didn’t have a cake pop pan, so I used a cake pop maker and they turned out perfect!
**I dipped the cake pop in the chocolate then placed them in the fridge to solidify then dipped them once more for a second coat and back into the fridge to solidify once more before serving.
