Healthy Chocolate Cupcakes
Soft, moist, and packed with chocolate flavor, this is the best healthy chocolate cupcakes recipe you will ever make!
Servings: 10 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour (120g) (For low carb: Keto Chocolate Cupcakes)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder or additional unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut sugar or xylitol
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or additional water
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- *I love using spelt flour for these healthy chocolate cupcakes. Oat flour, white flour, and gluten free all purpose flour also work.Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease or line a cupcake tin. Stir dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then add wet to form a batter. Portion into the prepared pan, filling each tin about two thirds of the way up. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out mostly clean. Let cool, then frost or enjoy unfrosted. A great trick for low fat cupcakes is to cover very loosely and let sit overnight on the counter if you can wait. The taste and texture are better the next day, and liners peel off easily too.View Nutrition Facts
