    It is cupcake time again! Yay! Making these little fellas not very often lately. Well… good reason to make something special today – Superduper Superfood Cupcakes! ;)

    Why I am calling these cupcakes Superduper Superfood Cupcakes? Well, because they have a lot of superfoods inside ;)

    OK – let’s get a bit serious again. But just a bit. You all know the term “superfood”? It’s a (trendy) term for fruits, seeds etc. that do more for your body than other foods. Better for your heart, stomach, liver, immune system etc…. For example ginger, blueberries, goji berries, avocados, chia seeds or herbs like curcuma or oregano. All good for your health in one way or another…

    Why am I doing this? Well… Sarah from feiertäglich.de was asking if I want to join in on her #superfoodsaturday – since I am normally not using these foods on a regular basis I thought “challenge accepted”! :) Sarah shows all kinds of recipes on Saturdays and tells you what you can do with those superfoods – or bloggers she invites… like “moi” ;)

    But what could I bake? Cooking with these superfoods seems more easy because you already use them in many dishes – but baking? Well – I remembered  the avocado cake I made last year – it was pretty awesome – so why not making cupcakes with avocado? And replacing regular eggs with chia eggs (I’ll explain in the recipe) to make it even more superduper? Why not go all the way and do them completely vegan?! ;) Some of you might think now “….and this is where he lost me” :P

    No, nooo… vegan baking is as good as old-fashioned baking. These cupcakes turned out pretty awesome. The Vegan German Buttercream has even less sugar than regular cupcake toppings – one more thing that makes these cupcakes “SUPERDUPER SUPERFOOD CUPCAKES”! ;)

    Have a nice weekend folks!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. Start with the pudding for the buttercream. Add the sugar, cornstarch and vanilla extract to a small bowl and mix with 5-6 tablespoons of the rice/almond milk until well combined. Add the remaining milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix in the cornstarch mixture and let cook for a moment so the pudding can thicken. Take from the heat and let cool down a bit. Take a piece of plastic wrap and place it directly on the pudding – there should me no air between the pudding and the plastic wrap. This is how you prevent the pudding to get a skin. Make sure the plastic wrap can take the heat or it will melt. Let the pudding cool down for 2 hours or over night. You can also place it in the fridge for some time, when it is not warm anymore.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside. In a bowl mix flour with cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Mix the ground chia seeds with the water and let soak for about 10 minutes to get the chia eggs.

    3. In a large bowl mix the sugar with the chia eggs until well combined – about 3-4 minutes. While still mixing (on medium speed), add the oil in a slow and steady stream and mix until well combined. Add the mashed avocado and mix. Add the flour mix alternating with the rice/almond milk in three portions. Mix until just combined. Fill the paper liners 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the tin for about 5 minutes and then completely on a wire rack.

    4. Add the vegan butter with a pinch of salt to a large bowl and beat on high speed until light and fluffy – for about 4-5 minutes. Reduce the speed a bit and add the pudding one tablespoon at a time and mix every time until well combined. When all of the pudding is added, mix for 2-3 minutes more until light and fluffy. Fill into a piping bag and decorate each cupcake with a swirl of the buttercream. Dust with cocoa powder if you like.

    1. Mit dem Pudding für die Buttercreme anfangen – dazu den Zucker mit der Stärke und dem Vanille Extrakt in einer kleinen Schüssel mit etwa 5-6 EL der Reis-/Mandelmilch verrühren, bis keine Klümpchen mehr zu sehen sind. Die restliche Milch in einem kleinen Topf zum Kochen bringen und dann den Stärkemix unter ständigem Rühren zugeben. Kurz aufkochen und eindicken lassen und dann vom Herd nehmen. Etwas abkühlen lassen und dann mit Klarsichtfolie abdecken – die Folie sollte dabei direkt auf dem Pudding aufliegen, damit sich keine Haut bilden kann. Für mindestens 2 Stunden oder über Nacht auskühlen lassen. Man kann den Pudding auch in den Kühlschrank stellen, wenn er nicht mehr zu warm ist.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Muffinblech mit Papierförmchen bestücken und zur Seite stellen. In einer kleinen Schüssel das Mehl mit Kakao, Backpulver, Natron und Salz vermischen. Zur Seite stellen. Die gemahlenen Chiasamen für die Chia Eier mit dem Wasser verrühren und für 10 Minuten quellen lassen.

    3. In einer großen Schüssel den Zucker mit den Chia Eiern aufschlagen, bis alles gut verbunden ist – etwa 3-4 Minuten. Die Geschwindigkeit etwas reduzieren und das Öl langsam in einem stetigen Strahl zugeben, während das Gerät weitermixt. Die zerquetschte Avocado zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Das Mehl abwechselnd mit der Reis-/Mandelmilch in drei Portionen zugeben und nur kurz verrühren. Die Papierförmchen zu etwa 2/3 voll füllen und dann für 18-20 Minuten im Ofen backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Cupcakes herausnehmen und erst in der Form 5 Minuten abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    4. Die Margarine (Vegane Butter) mit einer Prise Salz in einer großen Schüssel auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist – dauert erwa 4-5 Minuten. Geschwindigkeit etwas reduzieren und den Pudding löffelweise zugeben jeweils gut unterrühren. Sobald der Pudding komplett verarbeitet wurde, noch etwa 2-3 Minuten aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. In einen Spritzbeutel füllen und die Cupcakes damit verzieren. Nach Belieben noch mit etwas Kakao bestäuben.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
