Banana Cupcakes with Blueberry Buttercream Frosting

Servings: 18 cupcakes
Author: Lauren Kelly

Ingredients

  • Banana Cupcakes:
  • ¾ cup almond meal
  • ¾ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup ground flax
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ cup coconut oil softened
  • ¾ cup unrefined sugar
  • cup natural applesauce
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (around 1 ½ cup)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Frosting:
  • ¼ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup vegan buttery sticks or you can use regular organic butter but it won't be vegan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners or grease with coconut oil.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the almond meal, coconut flour, flax, cinnamon and baking soda.
  • In another small bowl, mix together coconut oil, sugar, applesauce, bananas and almond milk until combined.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and when a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing and placing cupcakes on a wire rack. Allow cupcakes to completely before adding the frosting.
  • Prepare frosting while cupcakes are cooling by mixing all ingredients except powdered sugar together in a large mixing bowl. (I use a hand mixer for this)
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix the ingredients until they all become combined.
  • Frost the cupcakes,top with fresh blueberries if desired and serve immediately. Place any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
