Happy New Year 2016 !!
We celebrated the New Year with Coconut Macaroon Cupcakes. Coconut Macaroon cupcakes is a Filipino style cupcakes, which is crunchy and firm on the outside, soft on the inside. Got this recipe from my friends daughter, which was flour less recipe. Given my interest to find out more about the food origin, researching online found out that many of the Filipino style coconut macaroon cupcakes do have lil bit of flour added. Since I like the soft cake texture, decided to add a lil bit of flour and pineapple juice for slight pineapple flavor. Cupcakes turned out great with lovely golden top.
