Paleo Dark Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes

Weeeee it’s Cherry season!! You know what that means! It’s time to get picking. I love to go cherry picking in the summer time. I fill up those buckets like nobody’s business haha! We love to enjoy cherries as a snack and bake with them. They are fabulous in salads too. With all the cherries that have been laying around in my kitchen I thought it would be fun to make a sweet healthy treat.

These Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes are incredibly healthy, filled with sweet dark red cherries, and topped with a smooth and sweet Dark Chocolate Paleo Ganache. This chocolate cherry cupcake recipe and the ganache topping are naturally sweetened with honey, making it the perfect dessert if you are on a paleo diet and need a sweet indulgence. You are going to love just how simple and easy these Dark Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes are to make. No slaving in the kitchen here!
