Here’s my Christmas cupcake idea. These cupcakes are completely gluten-free and vegan. I made two different types of cupcakes: green spirulina cupcakes and beet red velvet cupcakes. I found very cute muffin molds and their shape reminds me of the Christmas flower called poinsettia. That’s why I made my muffins red and green to resemble this beautiful plant. I also made a coconut frosting that looks like snow and decorated it with some dried fruit. These muffins turned out delicious despite my doubts. You can’t taste the spirulina at all, even though the color may look a little weird. I’m planning to make them again for Christmas!

Ingredients

2 cups of flour of your choice (I used 1 ½ cup of rice flour and 1/2 cup of oat flour)
3 tablespoons of shredded coconut
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 tablespoon of spirulina
1 small cooked beetroot
1 medium banana
2/3 cup of coconut milk
Sweetener of your choice – to your taste
Cinnamon
Vanilla extract
Orange zest – optional

For the frosting:
½ cup of coconut cream
Sweetener of your choice
Vanilla extract
3 tablespoons of shredded coconut
Dry fruit of your choice for decoration – optional (I used goji berry and candied orange peel)
