Cherry Maple Cupcakes For Two

The quality isn't great, no - it's nearly midnight, and I'm hungry!

I'm a big fan of the idea that you can eat as much junk food as you like, as long as you make it from scratch (come to think of it, I think I got that concept from Rachel Wilkerson).  On that note, I was pretty excited when this recipe from the Happy Herbivore popped up on my twitterfeed.  It's for a single serving blueberry muffin, and it's what I would have made if I'd had a muffin case, or pastry flour, or blueberries, or agave syrup, or the energy to go to Tesco.



This is what I actually made.

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons Wholemeal Plain Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon Soya Milk
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 20g Glacé Cherries (8-10)
• 1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1.  Preheat oven to gas mark 4.  Mix all ingredients together, and divide between cupcake cases (I got two).
2.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.

I liked that the Happy Herbivore's version served one, since that stops me eating cake for a week straight, but I also like that I get two cupcakes out of it.  That way, I can give one to Anthony, if I want.  I didn't today, so I ate both of them.  They were absolutely yummilicious.
