best part of vegan recipes: safe to eat the batter left in the bowl ♥ hahaha

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Isadora Lima I agree! The batter/dough is often my favorite part :)

[@baebammr.9743]

You use the most versatile ingredients. Nothing crazy that I have to go buy at different stores lol. Keep it up:)

[@FeastingonFruit]

I try! The fact that I don't have any fancy grocery stores very close to my house helps😁

[@baebammr.9743]

+Feasting on Fruit Thanks for replying! Your amazing, I hope your channel grows !😁💕

[@egyptian_thoth]

Finally gluten free cupcakes that look edible!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Edible and actually really delicious, I promise!! Oat flour is my favorite for GF baking, none of that weird gummy texture that GF cupcakes often have. I hope you like them!

[@senyagwynn8095]

Ok Natalie....these are going to be my favs!!! Nice job!!!❤❤❤

[@lovemefeedme]

I am alllllll about this flavour combo!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Happy new year Elle! And I hope you love these😋🥥

[@SheenaBrown444]

perfect for when you need a pick me up in the afternoon with some tea; omg delicious!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Sheena Brown Yes exactly! Just don't eat 3 of them at one time or you will be awake for hours...not that I know from experience :D

[@looow]

i made this, eating it right now! it's soooooo good!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Shelly Ⓥ I'm so happy that you love them, comments like this make my day!

[@Lama-oj6pf]

thank you so much. i did this its so yummmmmmmmmmmy

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yay! I'm so happy you liked them🤗 One of my faves!

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Wow..just wow!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Haha enough said, Barbara😊🍫🍫

[@ninajenn3435]

I found your channel yesterday when I was searching for a low fat pesto recipe and I ended up watching almost every video on your channel since then! Your ideas are amazing and thank you so much for these reliable, easy recipes! Xx

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Nina Jenn Haha well I'm so happy you found my little corner of the internet! Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you try something soon! That pesto is one of my favorites, but cupcakes would be pretty amazing too :)

[@asesoresjuridicos6395]

Excellent recipe! It was delicious 😋

[@FeastingonFruit]

I am so happy you liked them! These are one of my faves, so decadent😋

[@raymoona88]

made them today. soooo delicious :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+raymoona88 Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear it :)

[@kyrahowearth9435]

Oh Nat! Those cupcakes! Love love love this video. It was so cool to hear you talking for nearly the whole video too

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Kyra - Vie De La Vegan I was almost out of breath with all that talking! haha So much to explain! Oh I had had the pointy top issue many times, like little spiky hedgehog muffins. Just plop some frosting on them and no one will ever know ;) I think with low fat and vegan baking the batter doesn't change as much while it bakes, so you have to make sure they look pretty to start with :)

[@maddieg6360]

I HAVE TO MAKE THESE!!!!!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Maddie G You do! They are so crazy good

[@theveganwifecanada]

Mmm! Going to try a batch of these beauties, I love making/using oat flour! :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+The Vegan Wife It's my favorite flour too, plus I love just having to buy one ingredient for baking and making actual oatmeal. Definitely a pantry staple here!

[@dan_annanora]

I knew it's gonna be an amazing video! :) Love it Natalie

[@FeastingonFruit]

+noraSpiration Aww thanks Nora

[@HeidiFaith]

WOW these turned out INCREDIBLE! They were unbelievably rich and moist - and I didn't even make the frosting! I didn't have a large muffin tin, so mine were more like 2-bite brownie bits. Next time I make these, I will probably add nuts or a swirl of nut butter on top. Absolutely recommend this recipe 100000%.

[@FeastingonFruit]

I am so happy you enjoyed them!! And yes, totally work as "muffins" frosting free too😋 I love the sound of minis, and those topping ideas--thanks for the awesome feedback Heidi❤️

[@ritikarajmohan8263]

i tried it out it was bitter and i loved it the taste is soo lovley

[@FeastingonFruit]

+ritika rajmohan You scared me there for a second haha, but I'm glad you loved them :D

[@senyagwynn8121]

I love coffee anything!!!❤💚☕☕

[@FeastingonFruit]

Mmmm me too, such a good addition to chocolate!

[@senyagwynn8121]

@@FeastingonFruit yes!! It is the best with chocolate!!!😍😍😍

[@FullofBeans1]

Yup, saw the post, had to come watch the video! :-)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Full of Beans Haha thanks for checking it out :)

[@enchantinglymeganxo]

Why aren't you my sister 😭 everything you make looks so good I'm so happy I finally found some good HCLF no oil vegan recipes! Thank you so much!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+enchantinglymeganxo Haha that would be awesome! I need more vegans around to help me devour all these treats! Plus my real sister is across the country so the position is totally available right now lol :D

[@ThePlantEaters]

Oh no you didn't! These look out of this world! I'm trying to figure out how I can have these for breakfast!

[@SakuyaLuigi]

Ditto!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+The Plant Eaters Hahaha! Well think of it like having a cup of coffee and a muffin all rolled into one. There did that justify it for you? :D

[@amilacoviello590]

looks so delicious xoxoxox

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Amila coviello They are!!

[@terrabear4093]

Thanks for another great recipe! Have you ever thought of doing a savory gf muffin? Or a gluten-free soft pretzel? Those are what I dream of!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Terra Bear Pretzels are something I have been attempting for forever, still haven't figured it out, but I'll keep trying because I dream of them too! A savory muffin would be totally doable though, great idea!

[@theveganwifecanada]

+Feasting on Fruit Being part German I'm a huge pretzel fan too, would love to see a recipe video of that if you post it :) I've done a vegan version of a pretzel with garlic & one with caramel.. very simple. I'll post some recipes soon ;)

[@cathymcloughlin]

I would love to see you veganize macarons!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Cathy McLoughlin That is the meringue one right, not the coconut? Oh wow, I have no clue how to do that. Have you googled it? I know I've seen some recipes using aquafaba.

[@cathymcloughlin]

Yes, meringue

[@COOLMAD5683]

Can I eat this whole recipe???😋

[@Clairetriple2]

Well I have everything expect for the dates

[@askanthonyy]

OMG these look absolutely amazing! I'd imagine we could sub maybe apple sauce for the dates... Do you know about how much that date paste came to in terms of cups before you added the other ingredients? I only ask because dates are rather expensive where I can get them!

[@FeastingonFruit]

You could sub applesauce to make up for the dates, or even mashed banana, but neither will be as sweet as dates so I might recommend adding some coconut sugar as well. It's up to you, depends on how sweet you like things. I would estimate the date paste to be about 1 1/4 cup volume. I know, dates are even pricey here, but I hope that helps :)

[@askanthonyy]

+Feasting on Fruit thanks so much! Can't wait to give it a try :)

[@AnnieFireLovly]

Why must you taunt me its 10:17 pm and my family members will kill me if i start making cupcakes at this time 😂👍🏼 wonderful recipe as always 😊

[@FeastingonFruit]

+AnnieFireLovly Oh no! Been there, done that, it's rough. Or pinterest late at night...bad idea😁

[@scarlettjones6190]

Do u need baking powder or soda for rising ? ❤️

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Scarlett Jones There is one tablespoon of baking powder, and yes it's definitely necessary!

[@user-wp7mh1ky1i]

자막 나왔으면 아쉽내요.. 재료들 알고싶네요..ㅜㅜ 귀 안들어요

[@twinkitten1]

You can use date syrup instead of the whole date

[@FeastingonFruit]

I love date syrup, but it is much thinner and won't work the same here.

[@Clairetriple2]

Can I use stevia instead

[@FeastingonFruit]

The dates add moisture and and bulk to the batter that a sweetener does not, so that swap won't work. You could use another dried fruit like prunes or raisins, although they will taste more fruity. Otherwise maybe try this chocolate cake (or cupcakes) instead: www.feastingonfruit.com/gluten-free-vegan-chocolate-cake/

[@Clairetriple2]

Feasting on Fruit Ok thanks that will work!

[@ChriT2000]

Are these cupcakes dense at all? Is it moist?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Super duper moist! And yes a little denser than a normal cake, but they still have really good texture, not gummy at all.

[@ChriT2000]

Thanks! I'll be making these for father's day.

[@mimico5138]

Can i use date honey instead of date? Or maybe date paste? How many grams?

[@FeastingonFruit]

You could use date paste instead of the dates + water. I am not sure what the weight measurement would be, but it would be about 1 cup in volume😊

[@mimico5138]

Thanks dear😍😘

[@marisolmacias5118]

Can these be made with banana flour or quinoa flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Quinoa flour would definitely work! And banana flour may, although a little riskier that stuff is tricky

[@marisolmacias5118]

Thank you so much!! I will be trying with the quinoa flour :)

[@wiirdee]

Hey, I had another question, I don't want to sound stupid, but is all organic sugar vegan? :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+The Angry Angel Not a stupid question at all, the sugar thing is so confusing! Are you in the US? If so, then all USDA certified vegan sugars are vegan yes. But worldwide I am not sure.

[@wiirdee]

I am in the us. but i can't afford sugar all the time. I know dates for are a replacement for sugar but I don't have a blender to use them in dessert recipes :(

[@alizaaskari8911]

can I use spelt or coconut flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Spelt--yes. Coconut--no.

[@alizaaskari8911]

Thanks I'll definitely try this recipe. Love your recipes so easy and unique.😊😊

[@Clairetriple2]

I want to make these but I don’t have dates 😭😭

[@bkgupta88]

Is this the silicon tray.

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep! But a regular metal tray with liners works too :)

[@bkgupta88]

What are liners?

[@bkgupta88]

Doesn't keeping silicon bowl food for 40min in oven harmful for health.

[@FeastingonFruit]

I'm not sure, I've never heard that. And paper cupcake liners!

[@francesniederer5957]

Do you have any substitute to the date sin your recipes!?! @feastingonfruit

[@FeastingonFruit]

Raisins or dried figs will work in most cases, but add a much more distinct fruity flavor than the dates. Hope that helps!

[@gabrielecoelho9840]

I do not understand a thing in the recipe video you do not use vegetable milk that describes in the ingredients in the written recipe of the website.

[@FeastingonFruit]

I've made them both with and without the nondairy milk called for in the written recipe, and they work both ways. With is probably a bit more moist though, so I would recommend adding it as per the recipe on my blog :)
