Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add paper liners into your mini muffin pans.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then mix the dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
  3. Add the dry to the wet and mix well.
  4. Using a small scoop fill up each muffin about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then lightly touch one to see if it’s firm. If it’s still a little soft, bake for 5 more minutes. Remove and let cool. While the cupcakes are in the oven, you can make the icing.
  6. Put all the icing ingredients into your food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the icing using a spatula or a piping bag. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
