Banoffee Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients
- Ingredients for the cupcakes:
- 240ml of Nature’s Charm evaporated oat milk
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 210g self raising flour
- 50g caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 60ml sunflower oil
- 60g banana puree
- Ingredients for the buttercream:
- 190g dairy-free block butter
- 60g banana puree
- 280g icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Extras for the topping:
- Nature’s Charm Butterscotch sauce
- Banana slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC fan and line 2 cupcake tins with cupcake cases.
- Mash 2 small bananas with a fork in a bowl and weigh out 120g. You’ll want 60g for the cupcakes, and 60g for the buttercream.
- In a small bowl, combine the Nature’s Charm evaporated oat milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined. This creates a vegan buttermilk.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well to combine.
- Add the oil to the ‘buttermilk’ and whisk to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a smooth batter.
- Fold in 60g of banana puree.
- Fill the cases 3/4 full with the batter. Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
- Pop the cakes into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer down the centre of the cakes and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch.
- Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before frosting and decorating.
