can you use butter instead of oil?

Hello,
Great recipes! thank you so much!
Just wondering..is coconut cream the same as coconut milk? The type in the can?
Thank you!

Coconut cream can be scooped off the top of coconut milk. If you’re using canned coconut milk, refrigerate it overnight then open it and pour the liquid out and scoop out the cream.
Cupcakes just cooled and I tried one…….they turned out greasy and inedible – I’m so disappointed. Not sure why, I followed the recipe. 🙁 I do love your site though!
Just wondering if you have the nutritional value on the cupcakes…..Thank You
I made these for a celiac friend. They turned out great! I didn’t make the frosting but instead put chocolate chips in the batter. They were yummy! Thanks!
They came out amazing!
I’m so glad you like them! 🙂
