Sweetener Free Blueberry Cupcakes
These cupcakes are adapted from the Sweet-baby Strawberry Cupcake recipe. I added yogurt to help the cupcakes stay light. These are sweetened only with bananas and blueberries.
servings: 8
total time: 2 hours
recipe by: Rae
Ingredients
- Cupcakes:
- 3 large ripe bananas, peeled
- 2 TBSP cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened blueberry jam (see notes)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cups flour
- Frosting:
- 8 oz whipped Greek cream cheese and yogurt spread
- 1 cup unsweetened blueberry jam (see notes)
- Swirl Topping:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened blueberry jam (see notes)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine the bananas, oil, eggs, jam, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and yogurt. Use a potato masher and mix together smashing the bananas into the the other ingredients.
- Add the flour and stir just to combine.
- Grease your muffin tin or insert baking cups and fill with the batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Allow to cool at least 1 hour on a cooling rack.
- In the meantime make the frosting by whisking together the Greek cream cheese yogurt spread and the jam. Refrigerate until later use.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled pipe or spread the frosting on top.
- If you have a small pastry tip load the bag with the remaining jam, if not put in to a sandwich bag and snip off a small corner.
- Make a design of your choice on top of each cupcake.
- Serve or store in the refrigerator until time to serve.
Notes
I made the unsweetened blueberry jam by combining 3 TBSP instant pectin and 1 lb of (thawed, but cold) frozen blueberries in the food processor. I then allowed it to refrigerate overnight before using it in this recipe.Similar Recipes:
