        PASSIVE: 10 min

        COOKING

        1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.

        2. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms – do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.

        3. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.

        4. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,

        5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

        6. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.

        ABOUT THE RECIPE

        You know that feeling when a dish just makes the meal? This fruity, tangy, and slightly spiced sauce does exactly that. Whether you’re hosting a big holiday gathering, elevating a simple roast dinner, or looking for the perfect pairing for your appetizers, this recipe is your go-to for adding a pop of flavor and elegance to any plate.

It’s classic, cozy, and totally irresistible, making every bite feel festive and full of love. Bonus? It’s ridiculously easy to whip up.

        How to serve
        Pair this zesty goodness with roasted meats like turkey, pork, or ham for a perfect balance of sweet and savory. It’s also a surprising win drizzled over creamy brie or slathered on a crusty sandwich. Looking for a quick appetizer? Serve it with crackers, a wedge of sharp cheese, and nuts for a crowd-pleasing snack board. It’s versatile enough to go beyond holiday feasts – any time you want a hit of bold, fruity flavor, this sauce has you covered.

        Description

        RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
        • sharp knife
        • chopping board
        • peeler
        • grater
        • small pot
        • measuring cup
        • juicer (or by hand)

        Ingredients

        Units Scale
        • 1 lemon
        • 1 orange
        • 200 milliliter port wine
        • 1 shallot
        • 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
        • 1 tsp dijon mustard
        • 100 grams fresh cranberries
        • 200 grams redcurrant jelly
        • salt & finely grated black pepper

        Instructions

        1. Thoroughly wash and dry the lemon and orange. Peel 3–4 strips from each using a peeler, then slice the peels into fine julienne strips. Juice the orange, aiming for about 100 ml (3 fl. oz.) of juice.
        2. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and simmer the julienne strips for 5 minutes to soften and reduce their bitterness. Drain and set aside.
        3. Finely dice the shallot and grate the ginger directly into the saucepan. Add the port wine, orange juice, mustard, and cranberries. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cranberries soften and the liquid reduces.
        4. Next, stir in the redcurrant jelly and continue simmering for another 6–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and finely ground pepper to taste.
        5. Finally, fold the julienne strips into the sauce and let it cool. The sauce will thicken further as it cools and can be reheated anytime for serving.

        How to store:

The layer of lettuce between the ingredients, especially the cucumber, acts as a barrier and prevents moisture from reaching the other ingredients. In this respect, this sandwich is very suitable for preparing the evening before or in the morning and taking with you on the go or simply enjoying at home.
