Peanut Butter Cupcakes – Quick, Easy and Vegan

 

 

When I posted this photo of freshly-baked vegan peanut butter cupcakes, I had immediate requests for the recipe.

Well, here it is, a very simple, egg-free recipe. These cupcakes taste great, they have the most fantastic texture and they stay fresh for ages.

The only downside to these vegan peanut butter cupcakes?  They are not suitable for school. But they do make an excellent after school snack.

    Gee they look moist. Not sure why this peanut allergy thing never seemed to be around when we were kids. Makes you wonder what the heck they have done to our food.

    This looks like a good one for the teenager’s lunchbox. Fortunately they allow peanut butter at her school, as she loves it.

    My best friend is on a milk restricted diet as her baby seems to have a milk protein allergy- have been looking for some milk free baking. Will definitely give these a go! Thanks x

    I feel like Peanut Butter cupcakes for afternoon tea today (or tomorrow morning tea….I haven’t quite decided..). Note I say I feel like them – most of my baking is ‘kid centric’ based around their preferences – I think it is time for Mum to put her hand up, the sweetest thing…xxxx
