Aren’t they cute? Not as sweet as a regular cupcake, but you certainly can feel much better about munching on these during a cupcake party!
Our veggie cupcakes are made out of two ingredients: cucumber and hummus.
Prepare the “cupcake wrappers”
Peel a cucumber, then take a fork and, while firmly pressing down, pull the fork from one end of the cucumber to the other. This will create little grooves that will look like little cupcake wrappers!
Slice your scored cucumber into approximately 3/4 inch thick sections. You want the cucumbers to be thick enough to hold your hummus, but thin enough to take a bite from.
Once you have cut your cucumber into sections, take a melon baller and scoop approximately 2/3 of the middle out of the cucumber.
Icing your cucpcakes
I used a star shaped tip with a large opening. This will create a beautiful, fluffy frosting look on your finished product.
Fill your piping bag with hummus. I used classic hummus but there are lots of yummy flavors you could use such as pine nut, roasted garlic, basil pesto, or roasted red pepper.
Starting in the center, pipe a large dollop of hummus and then swirl your piping bag around until you are happy with the look of your little cupcakes.
For a finishing touch, I added a sliver of red pepper in the center. See how pretty they turned out?
