Ingredients

  • 12 standard cupcake liners
  • 2 3/4 cup King Arthur Gluten Free Flour Blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon flaxseed, ground
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners into a muffin pan.
  • Mix ground flax with 1/4 cup of water and allow to sit while gathering and mixing other ingredients.
  • Sift flour, salt, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, mix together flax eggs (the water and flax that has been sitting), vanilla, oil, milk (we used almond milk) and boiling water.
  • Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour an even amount into each cupcake liner.
  • Bake on middle rack for 20-25 minutes and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into a cupcake, looking for minimal residue, which will indicate that they are finished baking. The tops should be firm when they are done, too.
  • Allow to cool before icing.
