Vegan Banana Cupcakes With Cinnamon Ermine Frosting Recipes

VEGAN BANANA CUPCAKES WITH CINNAMON ERMINE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a standard sized cupcake/muffin baking tray with paper cupcake liners.
• Sift the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
• In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, plant-based milk, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry, and mix with a spoon just until combined. Do not over mix.
• With a medium scoop or large spoon, fill the paper liners about 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few cooked crumbs. Cool the bases in the tray for 5-10 minutes, then gently transfer each cupcake to a cooling rack. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting or the frosting will melt.
• Whisk the flour and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Pour in the cold milk slowly, whisking constantly. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a small pot and place over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Add the brown sugar. Once the mixture thickens and is bubbling, cook another 2 minutes stirring constantly. Do not under-cook or the frosting will taste like flour and will not thicken enough.
• Pour into a bowl and place plastic wrap directly over the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely to room temperature.
• In a stand-mixer with whisk attachment, beat the vegan butter on high for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. Beat in the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to medium, and add the cooled flour mixture a spoonful at a time. Once it's all added, beat on high for about 5 minutes or until light, fluffy and silky.
• Pipe the frosting onto completely cooled cupcakes.

BANANA CUPCAKES WITH HONEY-CINNAMON FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Make a well in center of flour mixture. In well, mix together butter, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to incorporate flour mixture (do not overmix). Dividing evenly, spoon batter into muffin cups.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Spread tops with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting. Just before serving, peel and slice banana into rounds, and place one on each cupcake, if desired.
• Honey-Cinnamon Frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat confectioners' sugar, unsalted butter, honey, and ground cinnamon until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.
