I wanted to make a low-sugar cupcake with no artificial sweeteners for my son's first birthday. This is what I came up with after testing out a few different ideas. It was a hit with the baby and even the adults asked for seconds! I made a coconut cream cheese frosting to top it with and decorated with banana chips. Ingredients:
2/3 cup banana, mashed |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3 large eggs, beaten |
3 tablespoons molasses |
2 tablespoons agave nectar (for more of a muffin you can omit this) |
3/4 cup apple juice |
2 cups unbleached flour (or any combo of whole wheat pastry flour and unbleached all purpose) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Beat banana and butter together in mixer until creamy and well blended. Add in eggs a little at a time, blending well. Add in molasses, agave and apple juice. Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Add to the the wet a little at a time until smooth.
2. Pour in muffin tins lined with cupcake liners. Leave about 1/2 at the top.
3. Bake at 350 at for 15-20 until done in center when tested.
