Ever tasted a sugar-free cupcake before? If not, now is your chance to try. These deliciously moist paleo banana bread muffins are naturally sweetened. Yes, you heard right. No coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup. These fluffy guys are sweetened soley with bananas, which is about as naturally sweetened as you can get. You can practically taste all the wholesome ingredients in these muffins!
While you can totally enjoy these muffins as a breakfast treat or afternoon snack, why not top them off with a rich and decadent chocolate frosting? Ya know because, chocolate just makes everything better. Plus cupcakes are always a nice surprise to bring to family gatherings or a friend’s party and they are super fun to decorate.
How to prepare sugar-free Banana Bread Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease muffin pan with coconut oil, or line the pan with paper cupcake liners. In a medium sized bowl mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mash the bananas, add the rest of the wet ingredients and whisk well until fully combined. Spoon batter evenly (3/4) into the muffin pan/liners and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Once the muffins are fully baked, transfer onto a cooling rack and let them cool down before frosting.
For the chocolate frosting heat coconut cream in a small pot over low heat. If you don’t have access to Lily’s stevia sweetened dairy-free chocolate to use as a sweetener, you can try soaking dates and simmering until the dates are fully dissolved. Once infused, strain the coconut milk through a sieve.
Turn off the heat and add the chocolate into the coconut cream. Wait a couple minutes and then stir well until chocolate is fully dissolved. Pour chocolate mixture into a medium bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes until mixture has thickened up. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and frost muffins. Enjoy immediately or store in fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to take cupcakes out of the refrigerator 2 hours prior to eating.
