Elvis Cupcakes ( GAPS peanut butter and banana cupcakes with chocolate icing)

Peanut butter was on the clearance rack so that means I bought all the jars! Here's what I did with some of that peanut butter...

Made cupcakes! These are so cake like you'll be amazed that it's not. These are kid approved and mama approved . I've only eaten 4! 


Here what you'll need 


1cup honey

2 1/2 of natural peanut butter

10 large eggs

1tsp of vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp of baking soda 

2 to 3 very ripe bananas 


Place the honey,eggs, peanut butter, vanilla, and baking soda into a food processor and blend until smooth. 

Mash bananas in a small bowl and then fold into the cake mixture

Bake for 30 minutes or until a tooth pick removes cleanly and a 300° oven. It make 24 cupcakes. 


The chocolate butter cream icing 


2 sticks of softened butter

10 Madjool dates 

1/2 cup honey 

1 cup cocoa powder

1 table spoon of cooled dark roast coffee


Remove pits of dates and pour a 1/2 cup of boiling water over them . Let them sit to soften for about 15 mins. When cooled peel the skins off the date and place into the food processor with honey and blend until a paste is formed. Then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. 

You may need to chill the icing so that it thickens. 


I topped these bad boys with an unsweetened banana chip.
