I have been on a bit of recipe mission for healthy kids snacks, so I tried this vegan chocolate cupcake recipe today and although it is slightly heavier than your usual cupcake, it does have an avocado hidden amongst the chocolate so it really is a healthy cupcake alternative 🙂
So here’s an idea for afternoon tea Anna.
Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
method
- preheat oven at 180 C / 350 F
- sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder together in a medium bowl
- mash up avocado and mix with vegetable oil, milk, sugar and vinegar until combined
for the icing, just mix 1 cup icing mixture, 2 tablespoons cocoa and a couple of tablespoons of hot water and combine until smooth and spread over cooled cupcakes
Let me know if you try them out, I’d love to hear your opinion on them.
Enjoy and have a fabulous day , hugs ♥
