Mini Vegan Banana Cakes with Chocolate Buttercream

HELLO perfection in a ramekin!! Mini Vegan Banana Cakes with Chocolate Buttercream are just what you need this Friday eve. the cakes are soft, fluffy and even kind of fudgy while the buttercream is simply silky smooth deliciousness.

this post is sponsored by Endangered Species Chocolate. all opinions and recipes are my own. thank you to my sponsors and community for supporting upbeetandkaleingit.

well thursday is usually my second favorite day of the week so it’s only suitable to post something extra special. if you’re looking for the perfect date night dessert, look no further.

so, the cakes themselves have no added sugar! they’re just sweetened with freshly mashed banana. the chocolate buttercream on top is the perfect sweet compliment.

i used to be kind of intimidated by homemade buttercream, but i’ve found the EASIEST way for you to make some using Endangered Species 55% Oat Milk + Dark Chocolate Chips.

we get ours at Whole Foods, along with the other amazing Endangered Species chocolate bars. the baking chips are super smooth and sweet like milk chocolate—but vegan!

the key to the luscious texture is oat milk- have you tried it?! oat milk gives the chocolate chips a much creamier texture and extra sweet flavor without having to add a boatload of sugar.

here’s what you’re going to need to make Mini Vegan Banana Cakes with Chocolate Buttercream

• oat flour

• almond flour

• baking powder

• vanilla extract

• mashed banana

• peanut butter or almond butter

• dairy free milk

• Endangered Species oat milk baking chips

• vegan butter

• vegan cream cheese

• vanilla extract

supporting brands that i love and that are doing good is everything to me. ESC donates 10% of their annual net profits to conservation organizations, so they can continue to do their amazing work on behalf of wildlife every day!!

while ESC crafts their delicious chocolate, they have contributed over $2,600,000 to their GiveBack partners in support of conservation while supporting independent farmers in West Africa through Fairtrade sourcing.

this is a brand that you can feel extra good about purchasing :).
