Banana Bread Christmas Cupcakes with Frosting: Perfect for a delicious Christmas breakfast!

Christmas is the time for warmth, coziness and... cupcakes!

Made with our award-winning chocolate banana bread mix , these delicious Christmas cupcakes are the perfect treat to add a little extra magic to your morning. Not only are they super easy to make, they’re also super nutritious.

The frosting? It’s just as festive as the tree itself! Thanks to a touch of matcha (or spirulina), the cupcakes get a beautiful greenish hue, perfect for staying in the Christmas spirit.

Ingredients for the cupcakes:

1 baking mix for banana bread with chocolate
4 ripe bananas
3 tbsp olive oil
2 eggs
1 yoghurt (125g)

Preheat oven to 180C. Mix bananas, oil, eggs and yoghurt until smooth. Mix in banana bread mix with a fork. Spoon the mix into muffin cups. Bake muffins for about 25 minutes in a preheated oven. Do the prick test after 20min to see if they are done (baking time may depend on oven strength).

Tip 1: It is better to bake the muffins slightly under than over, because then they will become dry.

Tip 2: Use an ice cream scoop to divide the mix between the molds. 1 scoop = 1 muffin

What do you need for the frosting?

200g full fat cream cheese
100g Greek yoghurt (10% fat)
50g (1/2 cup) icing sugar
1 tsp matcha powder (or spirulina powder)

How do you make the frosting?

Place the cream cheese and yogurt in a bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and matcha powder (or spirulina) and mix until well incorporated.
Refrigerate until ready to use, or use immediately to decorate cupcakes. Note: cupcakes must be completely cooled before frosting!

For an extra festive effect, you can finish the cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles and other Christmas sprinkles.

Tip: the cupcakes are extra delicious with Christmas music in the background

Happy Holidays and enjoy! 🎄🎅
