One of the kids helped me with my baking today...

Mini chocolate cupcakes

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup boiling water

       Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180.
2. Place cupcake liners ion a tray.
3. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk together well.
4. In a separate bowl combine milk, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla; mix well. 
5. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and mix together until well combined. 
6. Carefully add boiling water to the cake batter, mixing well for about 30 seconds.
