Ingredients

¼ cup (56 g) butter
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup + 1 Tbsp (108 g) Loprofin Baking Mix
1 tsp egg replacer*, see notes for alternative
1 tsp baking powder
2 scoops (10 g) Milupa LP-Drink, prepared (mixed with 3.4 fl oz of water)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 drop yellow food coloring

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 6 cupcake liners in muffin tin.
Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
Add the baking mix, egg replacer and baking powder into the creamed mixture and blend together.
Gradually mix in prepared LP-Drink, vanilla extract, and yellow food coloring until smooth.
Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners. Bake 10-15 minutes or until cupcakes are slightly firm to the touch or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Optional: Decorate with homemade buttercream frosting.

If you like bananas, use ½ of a mashed banana instead of the egg replacer. This will change the flavor to taste like a banana bread cupcake – and they are delicious! Be sure to adjust the nutrient information to reflect this change.
