VEGAN CUPCAKES
These taste amazing and are quick to make! You can play around and substitute different milks, oils and extracts; just about any will work. I've listed my favorites. Unfortunately, this recipe doesn't rise well as a cake, but cupcakes are more fun anyway! These are great with a simple frosting of cocoa powder, powdered sugar and orange juice.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cupcakes will be. You can also freeze ripe bananas and use them later when you're ready to bake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
