Chocolate Cupcakes!

YES, I'm on a Chocolate Mission!!!!
I found this online and it is a very promising recipe.
The texture is GREAT and just like a cake/cupcake!!!!
My only thing is, it seems to be a bit dry on its own, I wish it was a tad moister. Although this isn't enough to stop me from making the same recipe again, but I would probably add something to moisten it up... Chocolate chips?  Applesauce?  Something!  We'll see!

My husband and I LOVE cake and ice cream together, but it had been a long time... it's so hard to do when you are wheat AND starch free in baking.  This is our answer - Oh yeah!!!

Chocolate Cupcakes (makes 30)


Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups garbanzo bean flour, sifted twice
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix in eggs, vanilla, olive oil, and milk until just combined.
  3. Mix in water.
  4. Fill cupcake liners just halfway.
  5. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes or until the top bounces back when lightly touched.

This blended up beautifully!!!


I should have had 4 extra cups beyond my 2 12 cup tins, so I put liners in some aluminum foil cupcake tins to bake! 




I was so happy to break this open and see a "real" cupcake!!!  Oh the possibilities!
