Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes!
A classic Chocolate Cupcake recipe – made vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free! These cupcakes are light and fluffy and are perfect for your new go-to classic chocolate cupcake recipe. They have a rich chocolate flavour and are not overly sweet.
These cupcakes are made with wholesome ingredients like oats, coconut milk, and coconut yogurt. I lightly sweetened these cupcakes with maple syrup, which is a natural sweetener with loads of minerals.
I like to frost these cupcakes with my Healthy Vegan Vanilla Frosting (pictured above), but if you’re looking for an even richer, chocolatey flavour – try my Fudgy Chocolate Frosting, made with a secret ingredient that adds tons of plant-based protein and fiber! These would also be great topped with fresh berries in the summer.
