Ingredients
Quadruple Chocolate Vegan Muffins (or Cupcakes)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder, very lightly packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (reduce to 1½ teaspoons above 3000 feet, 1 teaspoon above 5000 feet)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup oil
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate milk beverage
  • 6 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate pudding (see post above)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Chocolate Pudding Frosting
Instructions
Quadruple Chocolate Vegan Muffins (or Cupcakes)
  1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF and line 8 to 12 muffin tins with cupcake liners (I do 8 if making boisterous muffins, 10 to 12 if making cupcakes for frosting).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, milk beverage, pudding, and vanilla until combined. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. It's okay if there are a some little lumps remaining. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between your prepared muffin cups.
  5. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Remove the muffin to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be a little crumbly when still warm.
Optional Chocolate Pudding Frosting
  1. While your cake is baking, pull the pudding from your refrigerator to warm it up to room temperature.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  3. Add the pudding to the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  4. Refrigerate the frosting until set, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Whisk or mix the frosting, and then spread on the completely cooled muffins or cupcakes.
