Yummy Sugar Free Vegan Cupcakes by Faith

One of our customers has sent us a cupcake recipe that's to die for! Faith in Texas made these with a Valentine's Day theme but Iwe think they'd be delicious on any day. Here's her recipe from her blog at SugarFreeFoodie.Tumblr.com


Sugar-free and vegan, these moist and delicious chocolate-frosted banana cupcakes make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat.  We won’t wait an entire year to have these again!
Cupcake ingredients:
2/3 cup liquid fruit sweetener*       1/2 cup canola oil
4 tablespoons water
3 ripe bananas
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 teaspoons Egg Replacer powder
1/4 teaspoon salt  
Frosting:
1 jar Wax Orchards Oh Fudge! fruit-sweetened chocolate sauce
halved strawberries and Love toothpicks (optional)
Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Use a hand mixer to puree the bananas in a medium bowl.  Add the rest of the liquid ingredients and mix on medium speed until well combined.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a larger bowl.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.  Spoon batter into cupcake pan (I fill until about 3/4 full and use paper liners).  Bake approximately 17 minutes or until cupcakes test done with a wooden toothpick.  Cool completely, frost with the fudge sauce and (optionally) add strawberries and decorations.
*My favorite fruit sweetener is Wax Orchards Fruit Sweet.  It’s a diabetic-friendly concentrated fruit juice blend with pear juice concentrate and unsweetened pineapple juice concentrate.
