Ingredients
  

Banana Cake Batter

  • 1 and 1/2 c. almond milk
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/3 c. coconut oil, melted
  • 2 and 3/4 c. cake flour
  • 1/2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 c. natural cane sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 4 bananas, mashed about 2 c.

Peanut Butter Frosting

  • 3/4 c. peanut butter creamy and stirred thoroughly
  • 1/2 c. vegan butter
  • 3 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 6-7 tsp. almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Melt the coconut oil, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice, and set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 340 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla.
  • Slowly pour the wet into the dry, stirring as you pour.
  • Mash the bananas, and stir them into the mixture.
  • Pour the batter into cupcake tins (lined with liners) and bake at 340 for 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool completely, for at least an hour.

Peanut Butter Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, combine the peanut butter and butter. Add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Add in the vanilla, and the almond milk, 1 tsp. at a time, stopping when the icing gets spreadable. Depending on what type of peanut butter you use, you may need more or less almond milk. I use natural, which seems to be more oily than most, so I did not need as much almond milk.
  • Spread the icing on each cupcake, and top with sliced bananas before serving.
