I know, i know, majority of you would probably feel repulsed by yet another sugar free, gluten free baby food.
But i feel the need to post this recipe, namely because it’s a recipe I’ve developed myself.
After rounds and rounds of trial error, I’ve finally came up with a cake recipe i really loved.
A cake recipe that’s subtly sweet and soft as can be.
Considering that this is an entirely sugar free (refined/unrefined, synthetic/natural), this is quite a breakthrough. No stevia, no xylitol, or any of that fancy sweeteners was used here.
The goodness came from ripe bananas.
Working with my sugar free constraints, I also wanted to come up with a frosting that’s equally healthy for these cupcakes. For days, I find myself sometimes staring into blank space. I just couldn’t think of something that’s naturally sweet and is thick enough to pipe.
Then the idea hit me. avocadoes! At first I was skeptical, I didnt know whether blended avocadoes would be too watery. I also thought that avocadoes would be too tasteless as a frosting. That’s when i decided to drop in some medjool dates in. And boy, did it work like a charm! and most importanly, baby Caitlyn loves it!
