Serves: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
Chocolate Cupcakes
1¼ cups kamut or all-purpose flour
1 cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Vanilla Buttercream
½ cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
1½ cup vegan powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Non-dairy milk, as needed (I used about 3 tbsp)
Toppings
Vegan sprinkles (optional)
Vegan chocolate candies (optional)
Instructions
Chocolate Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with a oil mister and set aside.
Whisk together flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Add in the water, vanilla, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar, whisk again until well combined. Do not over-mix. A few little clumps are fine!
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cook completely.
Vanilla Buttercream
Beat the vegan butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add in the vanilla and ½ cup powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar is mixed in, add another ½ cup, and repeat again. Add in some non-dairy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
Beat everything together until the desired consistency is reached. Top with vegan chocolate candies and/or sprinkles, if you want!
