We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400^. Place cupcake papers in a muffin pan (cupcake pan). Spray papers with non-stick spray. Set aside.

  • Step 2: Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; mix to blend.

  • Step 3: In a separate medium bowl combine remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine. Add this to the flour mixture; batter will be dough-like.

  • Step 4: Divide batter in half in the bowl, then 1/2 again (makes it easier to evenly distribute). This should fill the paper cups to the top.

  • Step 5: Bake for 25 minutes - testing with a wooden toothpick.

  • Step 6: Cool completely.

  • Eat as is or you can frost with: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon soft margarine, and enough lemon juice to make spreadable.
