Everyone loves a cupcake but they aren't usually the healthiest option. These Raw Moringa Cupcakes by Aduna Feel Good Triber Anna and the Veggielicious family is a little different! Completely raw and made from nourishing seeds, fruit and our #moringamiracles, these cupcakes are still rich and indulgent-tasting but will leave you feeling vibrant and energised not sleepy and sluggish after a sugar high.
Ingredients
For the base
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup soft pitted dates
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla powder or extract
- A splash of filtered water
For the frosting/mousse
- 1/2 tbsp Aduna Moringa Powder
- 3-4 ripe organic bananas (depending on the size)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, coconut nectar, etc.)
- 6 tbsp melted coconut oil
- A splash of filtered water
Method
- Line a cupcake pan with cupcake cases or silicone moulds.
- In a food processor, blend the seeds until a fine powder. Add all other ingredients for the base and blend until the mixture sticks together when pressed between finger and thumb.
- Press the mixture into the prepared cupcake cases and place the tray in the fridge while you prepare the frosting.
- Blend together all the ingredients in a high-powered blender until completely smooth.
- Use a piping bag to pipe the frosting on the cupcakes (or spread with a knife) then sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
- Return them to the fridge for at least a couple of hours, until set.
Enjoy!
