Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed with a fork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon carob syrup
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla powder
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • 1 1/2 heaped teaspoons green stevia powder
  • 1/3 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 banana sliced for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) or gas mark 4. Line a standard 12-hole muffin tray with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, olive oil, and carob syrup. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well unified.
  • Add the almond meal, buckwheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla powder, cacao powder, and green stevia powder into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined, forming a thick, cohesive batter.
  • Pour in the milk of your choice and stir again to loosen the batter slightly, ensuring a moist and tender crumb in the finished cupcakes.
  • Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cases, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, place a few thin slices of banana on top of each mound of batter for a charming and flavorful garnish.
  • Slide the muffin tray into the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, signaling they are perfectly cooked.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for a soft, delicate texture or cooled for a firmer bite. They are delicious as-is or even better with a generous smear of creamy peanut butter.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze to enjoy at a later time.
