Ingredients

Chocolate dough

  • 170 g spelled flour
  • 50 g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 160 g brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 140 ml canola oil
  • 200 ml plant drink

Peanut buttercream

  • 120 g peanut butter (creamy)
  • 50 g plant-based butter
  • 60 g powdered sugar
  • sugar pearls for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • For the chocolate dough, mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add canola oil and vegetable drink and stir only until all ingredients are just mixed.
  • Place paper molds in the hollows of a muffin baking sheet and fill about halfway with the batter.
  • Bake mini muffins for 10 minutes. If you make normal sized muffins, the baking time will increase by about 5 minutes. At the end of the baking time, prick one of the muffins with a wooden stick, pull it out again and if no dough sticks to the stick, the muffins are ready.
  • Remove the muffins from the baking tray and place on a wire rack to cool well.
  • For the buttercream, beat the peanut butter and plant-based butter for 3-4 minutes with the mixer.
  • Sift the powdered sugar, gradually add to the peanut buttercream and stir well.
  • If you want a firmer cream, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Finally, put the buttercream in a piping nozzle and decorate the cooled chocolate muffins with it.
  • It’s best to put the finished cupcakes in the fridge and take them out a few minutes before they’re eaten.

Notes

If you prefer larger cupcakes increase baking time and you will get about 20 pieces.
