I'm not vegan (if the rest of the posts on this blog didn't give that away...) but I ran across a recipe that was vegan, low-fat, AND chocolaty Since I had a lot of applesauce to use in the fridge, I decided to give it a try. After some tweaking, these cupcakes were delicious.
This was also a really easy recipe to pull together. It uses all common ingredients (or at least common ingredients for my pantry). Another plus of this being vegan: absolutely NO GUILT when you lick the whisk and/or measuring cup and/or spatula.
I will definitely be doubling this recipe the next time I make it. These were amazing! I don't think it would be possible to identify these as vegan or healthy if you didn't know the ingredients. Yum.
I dusted mine with powdered sugar because that's what I had. These would be delicious with frosting though. Maybe next time.
2 c. AP flour
1 c. sugar
1 tbs. corn starch
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Whisk all of the ingredients, but the applesauce, together. Add the applesauce and whisk until incorporated. (The batter was a little thick for me so don't fret.)
3. Coat a cupcake pan with cooking spray. Put approximately 1/4 c. of the batter in each cupcake.
4. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Frost or dust with powdered sugar.
