Yummy Vegan Brownie Cupcakes

Yummy Vegan Brownie Cupcakes

This is a wonderful recipe that my vegan step-daughter gave me. So delicious and so healthy. My younger kids loved them! Top with chia seeds, black sesame seeds, or chocolate chips! I add whatever I want to the frosting; you could add peanut butter or peanut butter chips!

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Icing

  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup margarine, melted
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Cupcakes

  • 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 over-ripe banana, mashed
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, or more to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Step 2
Whisk whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

Step 3
Stir water, banana, canola oil, and apple cider vinegar together in a separate bowl; add to flour mixture and blend until batter is smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to wire wracks to cool completely.

Step 5
Beat peanut butter and margarine together in a bowl with an electric mixer; add coconut milk and vanilla. Gradually beat confectioners' sugar into peanut butter mixture until icing is well-mixed.

Step 6
Top cooled cupcakes with icing.

Cook’s Note:

You can substitute white sugar for the brown sugar.
