Project 365- Day 82

Yesterday my son was craving something sweet.
He mentioned that I hadn't made cupcakes in a while and I obliged.

I had some bananas that looked a little overripe so I made banana and chocolate chip cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting.
Sadly, I was totally out of butter so I substituted applesauce for the butter in the cupcakes and I made the frosting with veggie shortening.
The cupcakes were awesome because I think the applesauce makes them more moist but the frosting is just really not the same without the butter.
(You can substitute applesauce for any fat in baking if you want to cut some of the calories and fat. Just use a 1:1 ratio.)
