Vegan Brownie Cupcakes
This recipe is vegan and it’s my Grandma O.G.’s fave. The only reason I mention it is that this woman loves all things steak, eggs, milk, and butter. She can’t get enough. Yet she always asks me to make these brownies, so that’s saying something.
The rich chocolate texture is what fools you, chocolate can make anything seem decadent and this recipe is no different. It’s also great for kids with egg allergies or if you just don’t have eggs and butter on hand, you know how that can be.
While O.G. may not be giving up hamburgers anytime soon, at least it’s a start.
Vegan Brownie Cupcakes
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plant-based milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons coffee
1 cup mini chocolate chips (most chocolate chips aren’t vegan, check your packaging or leave them out. You won’t miss them)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a mini cupcake pan with liners.
Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the plant-based milk, oil, vanilla, and coffee. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
Step 4: Spoon the batter into the prepped cupcake pan. Bake for 15 minutes, let cool on a wire rack.
Note: If you want to make these regular sized, bake for 22 minutes.
These are my most favorite brownies EVER and I don’t even care about the veganness. They’re just amazing. Every time I make them, people rave. Love the mini cupcake idea. Thanks again!
My Dad loves chocolate. I am going to make these for him for his birthday. Do they have the consistency of Two Bite Brownies by any chance? Where do you get your muffin liners, they are so cute!!!
I don’t know what two bite brownies are, but these are kind of crispy on the top and chewy in the middle. Depending on your cooking time, you can make them ‘gooey’-er if you like, I just don’t care for that consistency.
I got the muffin liners at Surfas, in Los Angeles.
Look like little sunflowers!
YUMMY! These turned out so well. Thanks so much for the recipe.
The only comment I have is that the batter made two batches of 24 mini muffins!
I’ve made a minty icing to go on top too 🙂
Where do you get those cute “flower like” cupcake holders from?
I love the cupcake holders! 🙂 The brand Enjoy Life has great vegan chocolate chips if you can find them…..
I was a bit skeptical about these at first because of the lack of egg and butter, but I made them a few days ago and they are LUSH. My uni flatmates can’t get enough of them.
YUMM.
i made this the other day.
vegan is the way to go!
Made these – they were awesome!
I just made these, and they are absolutely fantastic! One problem I always get with vegan baking however is that they get stuck in the bottom of the wrappers. Any ideas why? Even with careful tearing of the paper about two thirds down the cupcakes will break up.
Anyway I can live with that, it’s what spoons were made for, these tasted so good and I can’t wait for my omni flatmates to eat them!
oooooooh…I made these using brown rice flour and only one cup of sugar, and they are great!! Also so easy, no machines involved. I didn’t use any liners, either. I can’t stop trying your recipes, Jenn! Have you ever kept track of how many recipes your readers have tried? It should be a competition called, “The Quest for JENN’s Biggest Fan” or “Most JENN Recipes Made by a Single Reader”… you could make T-shirts as prizes! I love cute T-shirts…
These are so delicious. I’m making them for my son’s first birthday. Can the mixture be doubled?
Hey, I found this recipe via the Google machine, and it looks amazing! I just want to clarify, the coffee is liquid, correct? Just wanted to be sure not 2 tablespoons of instant coffee or anything. Thanks! ;D
Hello. Just made these and they are heaven in every bite! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
OMG these brownies/cupcakes are AMAZING. Just like you, I don’t have enough eggs or butter to whip up something for a Halloween work event tomorrow… and I was too lazy to go to the store. Very easy recipe!!! Delicious brownies! Now I’m about to melt some white chocolate disk and add some orange food coloring to decorate these yummy vegan cupcakes!
