Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter (or margarine if you prefer vegan)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg (or 1/4 cup silken tofu if you prefer vegan)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 1/2 cups oat flour (blend oats to form a flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Silk Vanilla Creamer

For "Frosting" (optional):

  • Vanilla Silk yogurt (or other dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 Tablespoon brown rice syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin tins and set aside.
  • Cream together brown rice syrup, margarine (or butter) and sugar until light and fluffy. Bean in tofu (or egg) and applesauce.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Add flour mixture to molasses mixture along with Silk and stir until smooth.
  • Pour into prepared cupcake liners until about 3/4's full. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tops spring back or a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool before frosting.
  • To prepare the yogurt frosting, simply combine all ingredients and place a dollop on top. Serve immediately. All leftovers must be stored in the refrigerator if they have been frosted.
