Vegan sultana and walnut coffee cupcakes
30 min
Vegan cupcakes with a distinguishable coffee flavour and great texture and nuttyness from the walnuts and added sweetness from the sultanas and the banana. In this recipe banana is substituted for butter and egg with no sacrifice of texture. The slightly sweeter taste is well balanced by the coffee's bitterness.
