Delicious Dairy Free Green Vanilla Cupcakes {Hidden Veggies} St. Patrick’s Day

Delicious Dairy Free Green Vanilla Cupcakes {Hidden Veggies} St. Patrick's Day   I am so excited that this recipe turned out as good as it did, actually it turned out way better than I expected! I know you are probably thinking they don’t look very yummy, but no lie – these cupcakes are delicious! My husband, a couple of our friends and my toddler all thought so too 🙂

These cupcakes are super easy to make and guess what? They are made from scratch! No baking out of a box here. I so much prefer baking from scratch as then I know exactly what goes into everything and I can tweak things and make them a tiny bit healthier.

This recipe is one I created yesterday and I based it from the recipe I created almost 3 years ago when I made over 200 cupcakes for my wedding. Yep, over 200 from scratch! More on that little adventure here.

But instead of a white chocolate chip vanilla cupcake, I made a much healthier version – and this one includes hidden veggies – 5 cups of fresh spinach! oh yeah! Some other adjustments I made this time around: I substituted both coconut oil and applesauce for the butter, and agave syrup for sugar. I also made these completely organic which is really easy to do nowadays when there are so many affordable organic options popping up in the stores. (I will be writing a post soon on how to eat organically on a budget).

Not only are these green cupcakes perfect for St. Patricks Day – but they are perfect for any day! Oh and they are Dairy Free as well! And if you use Gluten Free flour, they can be gluten free too.

Recipe Type: Cupcakes

Serves: 12
A healthy but delicious vanilla cupcake – dairy free. A hidden veggies recipe.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup agave syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 5 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • Icing:
  • almond milk
  • icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Using an electric mixer, blend the coconut oil, agave syrup and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs and continue mixing.
  2. Mix the flour and baking powder together in separate bowl then slowly pour into the mixer.
  3. In a blender or vitamix, puree the applesauce and spinach until smooth.
  4. Add the puree spinach mixture to the mixer and mix for about 30 seconds.
  5. Preheat oven to 325
  6. Fill 12 muffin cups (I used the silicone baking cups, but paper liners will work too) and bake for 20-25 minutes. Make sure you use a cake tester to test before removing from the oven.
  7. Icing:
  8. tbsp almond milk
  9. cups icing sugar.
  10. Depending on how much icing you’d like, you will need to add more of both the milk and icing sugar. Use an electric mixer and add a tiny amount of milk at a time. A little goes a long way here. Keep adding the icing sugar until you get your desired consistency.

    […] For these particular cupcakes I thought it would be appropriate to use my new Green Vanilla Cupcakes recipe 🙂 […]
