• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup almond milk
• ½ cup apple juice
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sunwarrior Cacao powder

* You can make oat flour by blending oat flakes in a food processor or high-speed blender

** To make a chia egg, mix 1 tablespoon of Sunwarrior Chia seeds and 2 and a half tablespoons of water and you get one vegan egg.

Cashew Frosting

• 1 ½ cups cashews (soaked for 4–6 hours)
• Juice squeezed from ½ lemon
• 6 tablespoons almond milk
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup
• A pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare 6–8 cupcake forms on a baking tray and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Add all the spices and mix thoroughly.
3. In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup with apple juice, coconut oil, almond milk, and chia egg.
4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients mixing continuously using an electric mixer. You want everything to be thoroughly mixed and the dough to be light and fluffy.
5. Transfer the dough to the prepared forms and put it in the oven. Bake for 15–18 min. or until a wooden toothpick comes out dry.
6. Take out of the oven and set aside until completely cool.
7. To make the cashew frosting simply put all the ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
