Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

June19

MmmmmmmMmmMm! I was so excited for the return of True Blood (on HBO) that I took to the kitchen and made some vegan cupcakes! Yes, I know they’re not red, but it’s cool….they’re delicious!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and either grease a cupcake pan or use paper cupcake liners.  In a medium bowl combine 2 1/4 c flour, 1 1/2 c sugar, 3 1/2 t baking powder, 3 T unsweetened cocoa and 1 t salt and stir together.

In a large bowl, mix (using a hand mixer) 1/2 c creamy or crunchy natural peanut butter, 1 1/4 c soy milk, 1 ripe banana (mashed),  and 1 t vanilla extract.

Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir (by hand) until combined.  Spoon the batter into the liners or greased cupcake tins and bake for 20-25 minutes. You can frost them with your favorite icing or do what I did: crunchy peanut butter with a sprinkle of cocoa powder! If you are going to frost them, be sure to wait until they’ve cooled.  I got 12 big cupcakes out of this recipe.
