Banana & Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup banana
- 1 1/4 cup plain flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 2/3 cup ‘milk’
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75g chocolate drops or smashed up chocolate bar
- vanilla frosting
- Preheat oven to 180ยบC and line your tray with baking cases.
- Mash up the banana (I do this in a blender to get it really smooth).
- Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
- Mix together oil, milk, vanilla and banana.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients, mix then add chocolate.
- Fill your baking cases and bake for 18 minutes.
I always leave mine in the tray for 5 minutes once they have come out of the oven and then transfer them to a wire rack.
Once they are completely cool you can do my favourite bit and frost them! I use the vegan fluffy buttercream recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Takeover The World. I halve the quantities and still end up with some left over! I also use less icing sugar then specified as I find it too sweet, start by adding just one cup and taste as you go.
