Date & Raspberry Cupcakes.

---

Dates are so beneficial for you. Full of fibre, they are amazing for your digestion, it's like a detox in a cupcake! As well as being rich in magnesium (known for it's anti-inflammatory properties) & potassium (great for muscle fatigue, bones and cramps).I made these for everyone for Tom's birthday at yoga, most people had devoured them before they'd even left the room, a positive sign I think!

Instructions Preheat oven to 185°C & grease cupcakes tins or set aside cupcake cakes. Heat the dates & water in a small saucepan over low heat until the dates break down & thicken. Use a fork to mash them together & set aside. Place the buckwheat flour, eggs, banana, vanilla extract & baking powder in a blender & mix well until well combined. Add the dates to the banana mixture & combine. Evenly distribute into the cupcake tray or holders. Cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
