Recipe Quinoa Cupcakes

This recipe at first tasted like peanut butter cupcakes to me, although I'm not sure what a peanut really tastes like anymore given that I won't even touch them.

These are extremely flaky - but travel great.

1 cup Ener-G Tapioca Flour
1 1/2 cup Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flour
1 1/3 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup extra light olive oil (we use Bertoli)
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350. Cream coconut oil and brown sugar. Stir in the 1/3 cup olive oil. Stir in apple sauce and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Then add to the wet mix, stirring until well combined. Finally mix in the chocolate chips.
Pour into cupcake holders (we use the 'if you care unbleached ones' that we put into a metal cupcake dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
