Vegan Banana Split Cupcakes
Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, heart-healthy
My yummy banana split cupcakes are the perfect dessert for any party. I top mine with fruit jam, chocolate, nuts and white icing, or I just eat them plain. I promise, this vegan banana cake will become your favorite banana dessert. I blended just the right number of bananas, oils and plant-based milk to make a delicate crumb and light texture that sets these cupcakes apart from other banana cakes which
are often dense and heavy. Have fun baking these festive little cakes.
