Very soft decadent, yet low-fat cupcakes. These do not contain egg and can easily be made vegan. Un-iced, they are still extremely good cake-like muffins. NOTE: these cupcakes had a VERY mild citrus flavour. I have since added orange zest to the recipe for a more prevalent citrusy flavour. Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/3 cup water |
3 tablespoons oil |
1 tablespoon vinegar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 teaspoon orange extract (optional) |
1 orange, zest of |
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl combine flours, sugar, cocoa and baking soda.
2. In a large bowl combine juice, water, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and orange extract (if desired) and orange zest.
3. Add flour mixture to the juice mixture; stir until just moistened.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Spray 12 medium muffin cups or use paper liners.
6. Fill cups half full with batter.
7. Bake at 375F 13-16 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
