About This Blog

I'm Ruby, and I have a blog with three of my siblings Ruby, Libby, and Ethan's World , but since none of us blog on it very often I decided to make a new blog, and I just recently started to enjoy baking sweets.

Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cupcakes/Brownies

The day I wanted to make chocolate chip cupcakes I had no eggs, because my sister Abbie had made a LOT of egg tacos.  So I was forced to make a vegan brownie/cupcake.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups oat flour (all you have to do is blend oats)

1 cup powdered stevia extract

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (The 2 tablespoons might be too chocolatey for some people, so if you don't like really rich chocolate then stick with 1 tablespoon) 

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup warm water

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 tablespoon Bragg's apple cider vinegar

Note: You may think that the apple cider vinegar is gonna taste gross, but the recipe doesn't work without it.

Steps

1) Preheat the convection oven to 400.  And oil the muffin pans.

2) Combine the flour, stevia, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3) Mix up the oil, vanilla, vinegar, and warm water in a small bowl, then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture.

4) Spoon the batter into oiled muffin pans.

5) Bake in a convection oven for 15-20 minutes.  (The first time I made these I cooked them for 10 minutes which made them under cooked)

P.S. You can top these with a whipped cream frosting from cherry vanilla cupcakes.
