Wholemeal Banana Nut Cup Cakes with Peanut Butter Glaze

Wholemeal Banana Nut Cup Cakes with Peanut butter glaze..

 I decided to make something to go with my Vegan Frozen Yogurt (recipe in my earlier post) and with a jar of PB in the cupboard and some practically black banana's this was the obvious solution. This recipe is also vegan and creates moist little cakes sticky banana cakes that are surprisingly light and moreish.

Ingredients

Cup Cakes (12)
2.5 Very ripe bananas mashed
1/4 cup Peanut Butter (i used crunchy but smooth is fine, make such it's natural, no added sugar/oil)
1/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup almond milk
1tbsp of oil
1/2 cup of whole meal spelt flour
1/4 cup regular whole meal
1/2 tsp baking poweder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract

-In a food processor, blitz raw sugar till a fine consistency. Add to a bowl with Peanut butter, vanilla extract and oil.
-Cream together (like you would do butter and sugar in a cake) until fully combined. Then add your mashed banana and almond milk and mix together viciously.. cooking can be a work out too.
- Sieve in flours, cinamon, salt, baking powder and discard the husks left in the sieve. GENTLY fold together your mixture, spelt flour is delicate you don't want to over work your batter.
- Spoon mixture into cup cake cases, these cakes don't rise much so fill them practically to the top. I used soft plastic ones so I could remove my cakes with ease but it's up to you.
- Bake at 180 Degrees Celsius in a fan oven till golden and you can stick a tooth pick in the middle and pull it out clean (about 10-15mins)

Peanut Butter Glaze   

Ingredients
1 heaped tbsp of peanut butter (again I used crunchy, as that's what I had, but smooth is fine)
2 heaped tbsp of Liquid Sweetener (I used agave syrup)

-Easy as pie, or glaze.. what ever. Just add to a small saucepan, turn up the heat a little and whisk together with a fork. Once combined keep warm over a very low heat until your cakes are done. Whilst cakes are warm divide between them and spread around with a knife or back of a teaspoon.

-Leave cakes to cool and remove from cases, serve with frozen yogurt if so wished.. I did.
