Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted dates
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup cacao (or cocoa) powder
• ¾ cup oat flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 cup baked and mashed purple sweet potato
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 4-6 tbsp non-dairy milk
• 3 green grapes or kiwi berries
• Mini chocolate chips
• Chocolate, yellow, and coconut sprinkles

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Blend the dates and water on high until smooth.
• Add the rest of the cupcake ingredients. Blend/process to form a thick batter.
• Divide beweren 6-8 muffin cups lined with paper liners or lightly oiled.
• Bake for 25 mins at 350F.
• Remove from the oven. Cool completely before frosting.
• In a food processor (works better than a blender for this), combine the mashed purple sweet potato and maple syrup. Process while slowly adding the milk until thick and smooth. This may take a while to get it really smooth.
• Spread a thick layer of frosting on each cupcake. Dab with a dull knife to create a fur effect.
• Top with sprinkles.
• Slice the grapes/kiwi berries in half. Insert a mini chocolate chip into the center of each. Place on top of the cupcakes.
• Enjoy! They are best eaten the day you decorate them or the grapes get a little funky.
