Healthy Strawberry Banana Cupcakes

August 19, 2016

Have you ever had a healthy cupcake? These are wholesome, filling, and amazingly delicious!

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (you can use regular whole wheat flour too, I prefer pastry flour. It is found at any health food store, such as Sprouts or Whole Foods)
1 cup wheat germ (this is also found at any health food store, but is also carried in many grocery stores)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 medium very ripe bananas
1/2 cup maple syrup (could use honey)
3 tablespoons butter, coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 large egg
Fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, raspberries, etc...
8 oz cream cheese, softened (yes, I consider cream cheese a real food, therefore not unhealthy in moderation!)
1/2 honey
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt in a bowl. With a mixer combine the 3 bananas, syrup, butter or oil, vanilla and egg. Beat until combined and bananas...
