Ingredients
Cupcakes:
Butter, for greasing the muffin tin
1 1/4 cups organic flour
2 teaspoons spirulina powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup organic soy milk
1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup organic sugar
1/3 cup non-gmo non-expeller-pressed canola oil
1/4 cup kombucha, such as Buddha's Brew Pineapple Super Greens
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pineapple Frosting:
1 teaspoon spirulina powder
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup vegan margarine
1/2 cup vegan shortening
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- For the cupcakes: Combine the flour, spirulina, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar; then stir in the sugar, canola oil, kombucha and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake on the center rack for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.
- For the frosting: Whisk the spirulina into the pineapple juice. Next, cream together the margarine and shortening, and add the powdered sugar and the pineapple-spirulina mixture. Whip with an electric mixer until thick and creamy. The frosting should be medium to dark mint green in color.
- To assemble: Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a flower tip and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.
