- They actually contain no eggs, which I didn't realize until I made them
- No butter either...just coconut milk and canola oil. I used light coconut milk and if you wanted to make it even lighter, you could probably substitute apple sauce for the canola oil.
- They actually are more of a muffin than a cupcake, seeing as it uses a muffin method of mixing rather than creaming butter and sugar for a regular cupcake recipe
- The cupcakes themselves are pretty delicious just by themselves...I made the frosting but had one plain for a snack this morning
- They have a great chocolate flavor, I'm going to try making them again, next time with toasted pecans in the batter or mini chocolate chips...just cause I can.
- They're worth a try....the banana and coconut milk adds a lot of flavor and they are a good snack!

And now my review:
ReplyDeleteUsed full fat coconut milk.
Tasted very much like a cupcake--mine weren't at all like muffins.
Frosted all of them, not sure if that was my best decision.
Brought them to bible study. Baby Anna loved them. Everyone else (me included) was already in a food coma from the breakfast themed dinner we'd had, so not many got eaten.
Glad I made them, but just not all that I had hoped they would be. AKA, not printing off the recipe and creating a hollowed place for it in the recipe book.
