Ingredients

  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 5 Tbsp. vegan butter, softened

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

  • 1 banana, mashed well

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 cup plant milk

  • For the Frosting:
  • 1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar

  • Dash pure vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Using a handheld mixer, combine sugar, vegan butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the banana, stirring well to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Alternating with plant milk, add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture a little bit at a time, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and mixing after each addition.
  • Spoon into the paper liners. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cupcakes spring back easily when touched lightly in the center.
  • Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Using a handheld mixer, combine all the frosting ingredients in a bowl.
  • Spread frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
