Breakfast cupcakes: A Protein-Packed, Morning Filler For Vegan Kids

by Debayan Paul | May 17, 2019

Looking for power-packed morning breakfast to fuel up your vegan kids? Here’s an easy cupcake recipe that comes with the goodness of proteins.

This particular recipe is a protein-packed (thanks chickpea flour) healthy and tasty vegan alternative to traditional pancakes. It is basically a fun fusion of cake and pancake. It is a kid-friendly dish and comes in the shape of a cupcake which makes it even more appealing. The twist is that it is a salty cake which kids find very interesting. You can cook the batter in the form of pancakes as well. But I have given the baked cupcake version.

How to prepare?

• Now add the fruit salt in the batter and see how it forms a bubble. This will make the cakes soft and spongy. It is a magic trick.
• Finally, pour the batter in a cupcake mold.
• You can even place thin vegan pastry dough into the molds (instead of paper cupcake wrappers and pour the liquid into the pastry, carefully.

Sometimes you ought to make some changes into regular dishes, making them more appealing to the little minds. Do try this recipe at once. Let me know your thoughts in comments.
