If you want something sweet, healthy and delicious too, then you really should try these raw vegan chocolate ice cream cupcakes! These cute little ice cream cupcakes are ready in just 10 minutes. The food processor/blender will do pretty much all the work for you.
Even though I say “chocolate” you should know that these raw cupcakes were made using carob powder. Carob powder is 100 times better than cocoa! It does not only taste better (it’s sweeter), but it is also alkaline and so, a healthier alternative.

- 2 frozen bananas
