How to Make Coconut Cupcakes With Key Lime Frosting

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, and 1/2 cup agave nectar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite Key Lime Frosting (recipe not included here, but easily found online!).
