Three Ingredient Chocolate Mini Cupcakes with Chocolate Vegan Icing

 

This easy recipe is excellent to satisfy your chocolate craving.  All in all five ingredients are needed for the frosted cupcake.   The banana and cocoa are both used for the cupcake and icing.  If watching calories, make mini cupcakes rather than regular ones. That was what I chose to do. 

Frosting is made of tofu. Yes. No nuts involved here or non dairy either nor oil. I gave it more body by adding banana. 

The frosting gives velvety sensation in your mouth. The cupcake can stand alone without it if you prefer. Enjoy. I gave the calories for both frosted and unfrosted versions. I used non calorie sweetener for icing.
