Ingredients

For the banana cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup bananas (about 2 large bananas, very ripe. If you want an intense banana flavor, use 1 ½ cups of banana puree-- about 3 large bananas-- and reduce the amount of nondairy milk to ½ cup)
  • 1 cup almond milk (can use any nondairy milk)
  • cup coconut oil
  • cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the peanut butter frosting:

Instructions

  • Make the Banana Cupcakes:
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
  • Mix the wet ingredients -- the mashed bananas, the nondairy milk, coconut oil, sugar and vanilla -- in another bowl.
  • Pour the well-mixed ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Divide the batter equally between the cups. Smooth down the tops and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cupcakes to a rack, let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then unmold and let them cool completely on the rack. These cupcakes are gorgeously golden.
  • Make the Peanut Butter Frosting:
  • Cream together the peanut butter, vegan butter, and coconut oil until they are smooth and fluffy, about two minutes.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix well after each addition. If the frosting is too stiff, you can add a little more coconut oil.
  • Frost the cupcakes once they have cooled completely.
