Elvis Cupcakes from ‘Baconish’
PrintIngredients
- 1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 4 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla vegan yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups Frosting
- 1/4 cup Coconut Bacon
- 12 dehydrated, sweetened banana chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- In another medium bowl, combine the oil, bananas, vegan yogurt, and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners so that they are each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- When the cupcakes are cooled, generously top with the frosting. Sprinkle the top with about 1 tsp. Coconut Bacon and place a banana chip in the frosting.
Note: You want the bananas to be very ripe. Mostly covered with dark brown spots is perfect. The riper the banana, the moister the cake and the richer the banana flavor.
