Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting

Did I ever say that I love chocolate and vanilla things combined? Well if you love the same thing, I have just the recipe for you! 

These cupcakes are a fabulous treat to make every now and then. These cupcakes use a secret ingredient (avocado) for the frosting. You'd never know though! Not only am I a self-imagined chef but I'm a sneaky one, too. 

 Cupcake Ingredients:

• 1 + 1/4 cup all purpose baking flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 3/4 cup almond or soy milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

Frosting Ingredients:

• 2 small avocados 
• 5 Tbs cocoa powder
• 1 Tbs agave
• 8 pitted dates

Directions:

Mix together dry cupcake ingredients, then add wet.

Line cupcake pan with about 6-8 cupcake liners. 

Pour batter in and bake at 375 for about 15-17 minutes.

 

To prepare frosting:

In a blender, throw in all ingredients and blend until smooth and combined.

 

To prepare cupcakes:

Put frosting into a zip-lock bag and cut a small hole in one of the corners.

Squeeze in a swirling motion onto the cupcakes.  

 

[Be sure to frost the cupcakes once they are about half way cooled.]
