Every “crazy idea” needs a plan.
No matter how big or small. A “crazy idea” without a plan is simply a daydream that sits in the back of your mind that never comes true. Kinda like that cute sweater you bought last year that’s sitting in the back of your closet and never saw the light of day.
“Crazy ideas create legendary stories.” However, that legendary story will never be told if there’s no plan to create it. Like the time I launched my Pupcakes OTR Concierge. I spent months mapping out a plan to bring my “crazy idea” to life.
And, of course there were a few new pupcake flavors available like these Soul Holiday Pupcakes. So, I dedicate this new flavor to all those pups turning their “crazy ideas” into actual plans. Check out the recipe below.

Ingredients
Soul Holiday Pupcakes
- 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Plain Yogurt
- 1/4 Cup Cooked Collard Greens
- 1/4 Cup Cooked Black-Eyed Peas
- 1 Tablespoon Pot Liquor (Water from the pot used to cook the black-eye peas)
- 1 Egg
Sweet Potato Frosting (Optional)
- 1 Cup Pureed Sweet Potato (1 Large Sweet Potato)
Instructions
For Black-Eyed Peas
- 1Soak black-eyed peas in cold water for 2 to 3 hours.
- 2Boil one cup of water in a separate pot. Add black-eyed peas after water is boiled.
- 3Let black-eyed peas simmer in pot for 30 to 45 minutes until tender. Drain. Set 1 tablespoon of water from the pot (pot liquor) aside to use for pupcakes.
For Collard Greens
- 1Place uncooked collard green leaves and water into a small pot.
- 2Cook collard green leaves at medium low heat for 15 minutes.
- 3At the end of 15 minutes, add two more tablespoons of water if needed. Continue the process until greens are tender.
For Soul Holiday Pupcakes
- 1Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 10 – 12 1.75-inch mini-muffin pan with paper bake cups and set aside.
- 2In small bowl mix together, flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- 3In a large mixing bowl add olive oil, yogurt, cooked collard greens, and black-eyed pea pot liquor, and egg. Beat on medium speed about 2 minutes or until combined.
- 4Add dry ingredients into the mixture and blend for approximately 2 minutes until well mixed.
- 5Stir in black-eyed peas.
- 6Fill each cupcake liner with 1 tablespoon of pupcake mix.
- 7Bake pupcakes for 13 – 16 minutes. Pupcakes are done when you can stick a toothpick into the cake and it comes out clean. The top of the pupcake should also be firm. If pupcakes aren’t done after 13 – 16 minutes, let them bake for another 2 – 3 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
- 8Pipe or spread sweet potato frosting on each pupcake (optional).
For Sweet Potato Frosting (Optional)
- 1Pour approximately 1-inch of water into a pot fitted for a steamer. Place the steamer on the pot and then place the sweet potato into the steamer.
- 2Turn the burner on medium heat. Let the sweet potato steam for 25 – 35 minutes. The sweet potato is done when you can stick a fork completely through the potato.
- 3Remove potato from the steamer and peel the skin immediately. The sweet potato will still be hot. Make sure to use a knife and fork to peel it.
- 4Cut the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Place in the blender. Add 4 tablespoons of the water from the pot to enhance the flavor.
- 5Blend the ingredients until creamy.
- 6Remove mixture from the blender and place in a sealed container.
- 7Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
