MINI CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Mini Chocolate Cupcakes image

I'm very excited about this mini chocolate cupcake recipe. It saves time, money, and most of all, butter! I love using butter for cupcakes but it's pricey and you may notice your cupcake is a little dense if it's sitting out for a while. This recipe contains extra-virgin olive oil and no coffee. Use good quality cocoa powder because I do notice a difference when using generic. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Happy baking!

Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup whole milk
1 egg
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup prepared chocolate pudding (such as Jell-O®)
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®), or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.
Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Break up clumps lightly with a whisk.
Mix milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk into the flour mixture until well incorporated and there are no clumps. Do not overmix the batter. Fold in pudding with a spatula while scraping the bottom of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips; batter will be runny and not very thick.
Pour batter into the prepared cupcake cups with a Wilton® cookie scoop or measuring cup with a spout, filling each 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
