Cupcakes don't have to be unhealthy! These nutty vegan currant cupcakes are free of refined sugar, gluten and oil - and even contain vegetables. Of course, they are also delicious. Dig in! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever I bake something sweet, I always try to keep it as healthy as possible. In other words, refined sugar is taboo. I like to use coconut blossom sugar instead - as in this vegan cupcake recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I do not use oil in principle. This can be a real challenge when it comes to baking, but it's totall possible. Strangely enough, I find the lack of eggs to be the smallest problems. You can easily use unsweetened applesauce instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another challenge is gluten-free baking - but I like challenges, so these vegan currant cupcakes are both sugar-free, oil-free and gluten-free. I tend to go for a mixture of gluten-free flour (in this case buckwheat flour) and ground up nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that's not all: these currant cupcakes even contain vegetables. Funnily enough, they were meant to become Carrot Cake Cupcakes. But during the many attempts of optimizing this recipe, I decided on the version with currants - but I also kept the carrots. You can also leave out the berries, the cupcakes taste delicious even without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cupcakes without topping are not cupcakes but muffins, that's why the sweet currant cupcakes got a nice cashew cream on top. I sweetened the cream with maple syrup, but you can totally use other liquid sweeteners like rice syrup or agave syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, there's nothing more to add. Let's get baking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you try these nutty vegan currant cupcakes, leave me a comment or rate the recipe. You can also show me your creation on instagram (@veggiejam). I'm always very happy when you try my recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
