Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples (peeled, cored and diced)
  • 2 eggs
  • 150g self-raising flour
  • 60g coconut oil or alternatively butter
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup (optional)

For the frosting:

  • 1 (400g) tin of full fat coconut milk (stored in the refrigerator to chill over night to harden)
  • 3 drops vanilla extract
  • 1 bag of Mini Gingerbread Men (blended)
  • 12 Organix Mini Gingerbread Men

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180c/gas 4/fan 160c. Fill a 12-cupcake tray with cases. Steam the diced apples for 7-8 minutes, once soft add to blender to create an apple puree texture.
  • Whisk the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Then add coconut oil along with the apple puree and maple syrup (if using). Gradually add the sifted flour, lightly mixing until a smooth texture has formed
  • Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases evenly and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for several minutes in the tray, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to completely cool, while you create the coconut frosting.
  • Add the thick coconut cream from the tin to a medium-mixing bowl along with the vanilla extract. Use an electric whisk to create a whipped texture.
  • Add 1 bag of Organix Mini Gingerbread Men to a food processor or alternatively add to a clean plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin.
  • Then spoon or pipe the coconut frosting onto cooled cupcakes, sprinkle the crushed gingerbread to create a sand texture and top with our favourite Organix Mini Gingerbread Men!

These easy fairy cakes for toddlers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months and frosted on the day.
