Time 45m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

240g self-raising flour
140g golden caster sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
240g egg-free mayonnaise
2 large or 3 small ripe bananas , mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
25g vegan dark chocolate chip
80g vegan margarine
250g icing sugar
25ml vegan milk (we used almond milk)
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line muffin tins with 16 cases. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, ½ tsp salt and bicarbonate of soda. In a second bowl or a jug, mix the mayonnaise, mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a spoon until just combined (don't overmix or your cupcakes will be heavy). Spoon the mixture into the cases and bake for 20 mins.
  • When the cupcakes come out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over - they will melt and then harden again, so don't touch them.
  • For the icing, combine the vegan margarine and icing sugar in an electric mixer, then add the vegan milk and continue to mix on a slow speed until completely combined. Turn the mixer up and combine for a further 3 mins. Finally, stir in the peanut butter. Pipe or simply spread the icing on top of the cakes. Store in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.
