So you want to be healthy as well as naughty? Look no further than blueberry cupcakes. A super food no less. Packed with goodness the humble blueberry is genius. Add it to a cupcake and it's all gone a bit rock n roll.

Directions

  1. Throw caution to the wind and put ALL the ingredients - apart from the blueberries - in a bowl. Whisk until the mixture is at dropping consistency.
  2. Use a knife to cut the blueberries in half and add them to the mixture. This helps the colour run into the mixture.
  3. Carefully spoon the mixture into the cupcakes cases as any drips on the edges will burn.
  4. Bake for 18 minutes on 150. You may need to have your oven higher if it's not fan assisted.
  5. For the frosting, place EVERYTHING in a bowl and whisk until the butterfrosting is nice and light.
  6. Use a LARGE STAR tube and a piping bag to pipe the frosting onto the cooled cakes.
