The kids and I made this one for St. Patrick's Day. Chocolate Mint Cupcakes decorated with green sprinkles and paper shamrocks.
These can be made without egg to be vegan. They are diabetic and candida friendly without the icing. I frosted mine this time with a store bought dairy free, fluffy white icing.
What you need:
1/2 cup vegan margarine
1 cup coconut palm sugar
1egg
1/2 cup applesauce
Two drops peppermint oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 350. Mix ingredients in order. Pour into cupcake tin, greased or lined with wrappers (it makes 9-10 cupcakes). Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Cool, decorate and enjoy!
I want to make sure that my family eats well. Don't want my kids eating a ton of processed sugar and chemicals however, I want to give them treats and delicious, interesting meals. Add to that my personal sensitivities to all things dairy, cane sugar and bakers yeast - it is a good thing I enjoy baking, cooking and experimenting with recipes. i also believe that making interesting, healthy meals for your family should not be complicated or difficult.
