Simple Green Cupcakes - A St. Patrick's Day Surprise!
These green cupcakes are a fun and easy way to add some color to your dessert table. Simple to make and delicious to eat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of applesauce 244g
- At LEAST 4 cups of raw spinach 85g -- Next time I'm adding more now that I know it works.
- Box of Store Bought White Cake Mix I used Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Classic White Cake Mix
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 15 muffin tins with liners and spray with a bit of non-stick to be safe. Note: probably not necassary but I'm over cautious.
- Puree the applesauce and spinach in a food processor or Magic Bullet. In this case I like the bullet as you can work it by simply pulsing and shaking the container a bit. It took awhile to get the puree started but once it caught I let it blend for a good minute.
- Dump the cake mix and spinach puree in a large bowl.
- Beat with an electric beater for 2 minutes on medium until the batter is combined.
- Separate the batter into the 15 cup cake liners. Add sprinkles if you like. This is my way of making them festive without icing. In my opinion, the cupcake has enough sugar already. No need to add tons more on top. Sprinkles are just as fun!
- Bake for about 20 minutes, then enjoy and admire your frestive green cupcakes!
