VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES



Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes image

The best easy vegan chocolate cupcake recipe, with no eggs or dairy!

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup water
1/4 cup applesauce or nondairy yogurt
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp white or cider vinegar
1 cup spelt,
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder or additional unsweetened
3/4 cup sugar, (unrefined if desired)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, (optional)
1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • *If you want to frost them, I mentioned a few of my favorite frosting recipes earlier in this post, or use your own favorite frosting. For the additional 2 tbsp cocoa, you can use either Dutch or regular. I highly recommend Dutch for heightened chocolate flavor. To find Dutch cocoa, just look for the word "alkali" in the ingredients. Be sure to use regular unsweetened (not Dutch) for the initial 1/4 cup.To make the vegan cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a cupcake pan with liners. In a large bowl, whisk first 5 ingredients. Do not forget the vinegar. Let sit at least 10 minutes, and sift all remaining ingredients in a separate bowl while you wait. Pour wet into dry, stir just until evenly mixed, and smooth into liners. Only fill up 2/3 of the way at most, because they rise a lot and you don't want them to burst and then sink in the middles (although if it happens, just hide it with frosting!). Bake 20 minutes on the center rack. Let cool. These taste even better the next day, and the liners will peel off easily after a day. View Nutrition Facts

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have more moisture, which will make your cupcakes more flavorful and moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cupcakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes: This will give you a more professional look.

Conclusion:

These vegan chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cupcakes a try!
