Ingredients
Cooking Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°, with racks in middle and lower thirds. Line 24 standard muffin cups with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a food processor, combine beans, butter, and granulated sugar; process until smooth. With machine running, add eggs and egg whites and process until incorporated. Stir into flour mixture until well combined. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla.
2. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake until puffed and set, about 17 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Transfer cupcakes to wire racks and let cool completely. These can be stored in an airtight container, up to 3 days.
3. Whisk together confectioners' sugar and fruit purée until smooth. Dip top of each cupcake into glaze, letting excess drip off. Let glaze set, about 15 minutes, before serving.
