Super easy chocolate cupcakes

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (225g) sifted flour
• 1 cup (225g) raw sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (115g) cocoa powder
• 1 pinch instant coffee
• 1/2 cup choc chips
• 1 cup (250ml) milk
• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 1/2 tsp vinegar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).

Line a 12 cup tray with patty pans and set aside.

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix using a mixer until smooth.

Fill patty pans two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean.

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then place on a wire rack to cool.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• Did you notice – no oil or butter! You can substitute oil or butter for the applesauce if you’re weary of apples and want a fat boost.
• Omit the choc chips if you don’t have any in the pantry (they don’t last long at my place, either).
• The cupcakes will be a little less chocolate-y, but everything still works.
