Make all your friends happy with these awesome partly vegan gluten free banana cupcakes!


I love experimenting with ingredients. Last week I had so many overripe bananas left over, but didn’t have time to use them. So I stuck them in the freezer! Today I’m showing you a great way to use them.

Bananas are a great egg replacement in vegan baking. And since I had some gluten free flour left over, I thought I’d try that as well. It worked out fine!

Everything starts with a great preparation:

  • Prepare your baking pan with cupcake liners,
  • Preheat your oven to 170 C / 350 F
  • Weigh all your ingredients
