Fluffy Chocolate Cupcakes

Happy Monday everyone,
if you read my previous post, you are aware that Sean and I went to a bakery that serves all vegan cupcakes. I was so inspired by this, I wanted to make my own.
I did make a vegan chocolate cake on Saturday, but wasn't happy with how this turned out. Today, after work, I decided to "re-vamp" the initial recipe I used. I am soooo glad I did. The cupcakes came out, light, fluffy, fudgy, chocolatey, and sweet. I'm not a vegan but love the idea of not using dairy products in this cupcake recipe. It's just something different. Have fun!



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 1/4 cups of sugar
1/3 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • in one bowl, combine all dry ingredients
  • on second bowl, combine all wet ingredients
  • mix them together until smooth
  • using spoon or ice cream scoop, fill batter, 3/4 of the way into lined muffin tin
  • bake for 13 - 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean
Take the cupcakes out of the muffin tin and let them cool. Eat as is or cover with your favorite frosting!

Sorry about the pictures, they came out a little dark!
